Great article. I brought my pipes with me to Mirage with the full intention of playing for the repats when they came through there. You wont believe what I was told....
They opted for a recorded version of the pipes over the real thing. Told me that they had rehearsed with the recording and...
Believe it or not, but I was there for MG last year and a directive came down..........no green vehicles at the timmies.......not sure if they're still enforcing this. Just an fyi

I remember just returning home last year and my furnace blew. No heat, nothing....needless to say I was pissed as this was something I didnt want to deal with anytime soon. So I called the local contractors to come out and bring it back to life. I had my tans basically strewn about in the...
