LED message board, huh?! Not a bad idea!
However FT, I think you two guys will be able to work this out somehow. Ya know, Mike was there last year and I have to say he's pretty quick on the ol' uptake and doesn't seem the sort to let a little thing like a possible communication problem get him frustrated and then pi$$ed...err..angry at all.
(figured I better clarify that "pi$$ed" thing here...Oh, he'll DRINK alright...you can count on THAT!!!)
