Amen.  I for one do not plan on just "taking" as Steve so accuratly put
it.  As a follow-up to my post before on trying to get Best Buy in
Mesquite to hold it, I asked my general manager today and he said it was
cool with him, but he had to check w/the district big-dogs to make sure
there aren't any rules against this sort of thing.  Keep your fingers
crossed everyone!!  We *might* just have ourselves a location!!
