GP1 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I would like to propose a ZipsNation.org table for this event. It's probably $10 per person if you get a "corporate" table. Any suggestions from the board organizers how we could put this together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip Watcher Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Actually, the 17th should be the day I'm cleared by team doctors to enjoy milk of the cow variety. No more of this powdered crap. I'm very pumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
