[Vision2020] Fwd: Just Curious

[Tom Hansen]

How dare you forget Dan "Area Man" Carscallen, joe.

You realize that Area Man has quite a following.  Some have compared it to
a movement (almost cult-like), complete with membership t-shirts available
at

The Onion
http://store.theonion.com/area-man-p-174.html

Zazzle
(which also has ladies' long-sleeve tees)
http://www.zazzle.com/area_man_tshirt-235722578623934878

I suggest that each of us purchase an "Area Man" t-shirt and show up
together at a city council session

Thoughts?
