BSCC- "Spooktacular" show review

[John]

Yea, but was there all you can eat chicken and 20 of the nicest people you 
know there???????
Just kidding Rick. It does sound like fun. Maybe next year. John Tex can 
bring his Ralph Nader cut-out and we can have him behind the wheel of a 
wrecked Corvair while bleeding like a stuffed pig! Oh sorry.......a little 
angry tonight. :]
