Getting Hardy on the news?

[Brian Michalski]

woot good job Dylan!!!,

I would recommend forwarding things like this to all major outlets
nation wide, and then sending them also to the more regional ones in
your area.

also, you should forward this to the community council to get their
input on this ;) better safe then sorry, maybe they already have
something planned. but you never know, you may be canada's source of a
new way :).

oh and thanks for the heads-up about the counter I have been waiting for
it for a month but gave up last week :),
