Last weekend, our Letterhead pals in Australia gathered together to restore an old curtain. Many of here in Letterville got to watch on HeadTV, as Jon "Bushie" Butterworth and his mates worked their buns off in temperatures that exceeded 105 F.

Here's the whole story in Bushie's own words.

Thanks for posting this report for me Steve.

I've passed the web address on to all our sponsors and the heads involved. Feed back so far has been great.

The photo you posted of katie (Kookaburra) is an old school photo. Makes her look too prim and proper. How about this one in a more appropriate setting ... in front of my computer with a cat on her lap

Hey Jon,
I'll send in a new pic soon... I really don't think that that pic shows enough of me? Just a side view, lots of hair, and a cat!

And yes, there are more shirts if you want one. We are ordering in a new batch, so please place your oreder before Valentines day! They are only 15 dollars US each, plus postage and handling. To get more information about it, please look at the post "curtain restoration shirts... who wants one?" It will give all of the info there. To order, send an e-mail, stating your size, quantity, etc, to badges@interworx.com.au , or if you would perfer a cuter operator to take your call (namely me ) Then send an e-mail with the same info to kookaburra_wright@hotmail.com
