Nick,
I live in Mesa. We should get together for lunch one day!
As far as blocking hats locally...the only joint that will have anything to do with that sort of thing is Az-Tex hats, in Scottsdale. However...their specialty is western hats...they'll tell you their specialty is just...
Thanks for the kind words, Velma!
She hates that picture of herself, for some reason. I will try to post some better ones at some point (our wedding photos are pretty great).
Rgearding the shoe throwing...you never can tell with dames.;)
Yeah, it's tough all over.
Drinking, by the way, has not been conclusively shown to shrink heads, but by all means, you're welcome to try. I'll have a hat waiting for you when you're down to my size.;)
Sorry I didn't list these here first, but I don't have a ton of time and I could only upload the photos once, so - to eBay they went. If you are a forum member, let me know if you are bidding on one of the hats...

MattDeckard, that was indeed a good time. I keep trying to make it back to LA. I've been there several times since, but generally in such a whirlwind that I haven't had time for visiting anyone, and that includes The Ambassador Hotel.
