Hi Jon,

You probably remember me joking that NAMES should simply buy the Pontiac 
Silverdome and use it for the show....

I was in Detroit yesterday and today.  On the evening news it was 
announced that the Silverdome was sold at Auction - for $580,000.   

Yes that is right 580 thousand $.   It was built in 1975 for 55 million 
$.    How is that for property depreciation!   Yikes! 

If every NAMES attendee kicked in $100 we probably could have bought the 
Silverdome!  ;-)

Dave
