No problem, Rich. Local pride is certainly admirable as is
authenticity (although nothing we do is unauthentic by any stretch of
the imagination). Just be sure to keep an open mind about the scope
of our patent and the necessary license to design and deliver such a
program/system commercially. I should note that Disney tried to
bypass it a few years back (corporate pride). After a serious and
robust challenge, even Disney relented and secured the required use
license.

Our systems can be found operational in about 30 venues across the
country. Where do you live and I'll be happy to point you to the
closest one.
