+ a facebook event w/the "count" as a graphic should be gotten up ASAP - if someone gets me a photo of Count Bankula I would be honored to do it. Zee Bouditch is also a facebook wizard and can do this really well. Deb Sirotkin Butler (added Z to the contact list) - I am around tonight doing OB stuff on computer off and on for the next few hours, so if you get me the graphic I can bang this out.<br>
