I'm assuming most folks here are not members of APTA - if so, that will save you $500.
COJ needs to foot the bill. It's the least they can do.
Good luck with that.
I'm sure.
Clever. I got ten bucks!
I am reminded of an old movie, where the protagonists wanted to get into some closed event ... they went into the men's room and took the "press" buttons off of something ...
it worked until one of them got a "pull" button ... :D
That aside ... good luck, you guys are as much "press" or "media" as some of the so-called media outlets.
With regard to relevant issues covered at that particular event, Moreso.
