Hi, Laporte Report subscribers.

The car is coming for me at six tomorrow morning and it's off to St.
Louis for our appearance on Saturday. Paul Block, Screen Savers
Executive Producer, and I are leaving early so we can schmooze with
the cable execs at a Cardinals-Reds game at Busch Stadium Friday
night. I'm so stoked to be able to add another ballpark to my
collection. Patrick (who is not a baseball or schmooze fan) will
stick around to do the show then fly out on a red-eye.

Just as long as he gets to Missouri in time to take me to the
Steak 'n' Shake for breakfast.

Don't tell Jennifer, but there's been big flooding in the area all
week. The Mississippi river crested yesterday at its highest point
since 1927! The current weather report calls for sunny skies for our
appearance at the Ballwin CompUSA Saturday. I am looking forward to
seeing so many of you there.

We had around 800 people show up last time, so get there early.
We're leaving right at 1p to catch a flight back to the Bay Area and
won't have any time to meet stragglers. This is the first time
Paul's been to a Screen Savers appearance, and he's anxious to talk
with as many real viewers about the show as possible. Tell him what
you like, and don't like. It's your best chance to influence the
show.

See you in St. Louis!
