Afraid our costumes won't be as spectacular as yours, but hey, it is the thought that counts, right? About BBQ food - is there a supermarket of some sort near you that we could buy some fresh meat from? I just think it would be silly to buy it and then transport it down to you in the car for 4 hours if we could buy it fresh from where you live.

On another note, I know the feeling of not being respected because of your age, and Mike especially had a problem for a long time that people assumed he was just out of college - which is why he grew a beard in the end, because having a babyface when you are in your mid twenties wasn't fun, people assumed he did not really know what he was talking about and had a lack of experience. Thank god he is now going thin on top and I think people are starting to realise that he is NOT 19 anymore
