-Best Decorated Car Contest for registrants, offset the price of gas and use your vehicle to make money rather than burn gas, open to all Get Together registrants. Can be your professional car or make one up ala high school, as long as it is magic based and you are registered (You can register at Abbotts via phone, in person, or online)

-Live Feeds and Broadcast from the Magic Capital, SOC (Street of Cards) will be broadcasting live from Clancys so now you will be able to have a cold soda/pop/beer in an air conditioned enviroment and watch yourself live on the internet (and also on Clancy's Big Screen TV).

-Construction has begun on Colon's Community Park which will be a magical park like no other in the world. This will be in addition to Colon's other parks, nothing is being subtracted!

-There will be public showings of several magic movies including "Women in Boxes". One viewing will be during the day and another during the evening, stay posted for date and times. Again thanks to SOC (Street of Cards) for putting that together.

-John Sterlini is working hard and will have his shop/theatre open for the Get Together. He may not be selling retail yet but invites everyone to stop in and say hello and check the new shop out.

-The launching of "Magic Capital of the World" website, a joint project which will help promote magic websites across the globe! You can sign your magic site up to it now if you like, check it out at http://magiccapitaloftheworld.com/topmagic/index.shtml. If you want to add your site and don't have a banner, leave that field blank and we will make one up for you, however you will have to add the special link code to your site yourself. If you have questions feel free to email me.

-4 additional dealers (Joe Stevens, David Ginn, Domenico Dante, & Pavel) which will make about a dozen dealers in the Show Room.

Hope to see you all there, any questions feel free to email me (or Greg or Hank)
