Just got word that Arte Americas Museum here in downtown Fresno, CA will show my Documentary on Signage of Havana, Cuba. A few of the pictures were published in Sign Craft Sept-Oct this year. It'll be on January 8, 2004. So any of you who would like to come by...be my guess. All the pictures will be 16"x 20". I have been waiting close to two years now for them to say ok. They have gone thru four directors, so no one knew what to really do. But I had the paper work, so it finally got honored. Annnnddddd since I have an Epson 9600, I told them instead of them paying someone else to print them, they could pay me, and at a better price. Also I get to keep all the pictures! It'll came out a benifit for both of us. So if any of you who has a museum in your city that would like to show my documentary let me know. Hope to see some of you come down. Well I have 25 pictures to scan, print, do a press release, edit the video, and hopefully knock out a painting or sign for the show before the 8th. I love this country!!!

Awesome Cisco! SOmetimes it seems like the only way I'll get to go to some of the places I'd like to visit is through the efforts of friends bringing back photos and stories. I've really enjoyed what I've seen and heard from you so far. Glad you might impact a bigger segment.

Hey Cisco - sorry our visit was so short. We made it back home in record time, an hour before Jenny had to go to work. We're bushed! But I just wanted to say Thanks so much for the great breakfast burritos. They hit the spot! And your family - what great people! Your Mom is a sweetheart and your Sis & family - I felt at home! Cant' wait to return and lanquish back in the Cabana. Cool place ya got. Bomba-Dear

hahahahaha Hey Jackie, that was my daughter, not my sister. Awhile back she took me to New Port Beach to eat at a PF Chang restaurant (i think that's it spelled) and I was holding my grandson and my daughter says come on I know these ladies from church, so we say hello, and one of the ladies asks my daughter is this your husband, I just smiled, and she answered "no he's my father" then one of the other ladies smiles at me and says "is that a compliment or what?" they all got a kick out of it when I said "I know, but I ran out of quarters"...
![[Applause]](graemlins/clap.gif)
nice try though.
