    John/Chris-

    Thanks for taking my question(s). And thanks John for clearing up our URL situation. I do agree that our URL should be GrassShackEvents&Media.com Problem we had, is ampersands are not allowed, so it kind of put a wrench in our plans. Plus as you said John it is a real mouthful.
    The real reason we used GrassShackRoad is we come from slick big production companies and we were tired of the same old slickster stuff which was directed at the executives. We decided to put a story around our website and go after our real target audience, the ones who actually hire and pay us, the companies in-house meeting planner. Who, by the way are 85% women. Every one of them has said how much they love our website. So after six years in business (celebrated last week) we are kind of stuck with the GS road.
    FYI Chris I am wearing my Grass Shack T-shirt today (Saturday)
    I have been drinking the marketing over coffee kool-aide and my questions to you guys really relate to a podcast I started with two guys who have 20+ plus years in our industry. We are all enjoying recording the podcast but it has been up to me to build the website- record, edit and now market the effort. Also, a blog I am producing for a Hilton hotel in San Jose. (with Michele Wolverton doing the hard work building the foundation) So thank you for answering my sometimes 101 class questions.
    Also thank you again for answering my question on your informative show and I look forward to meeting you both in person someday.

    If anyone out there needs a great flexible wordpress ace or virtual assistant contact chelpixie(at)gmail.com. As Chris has said on the show she is a really great and hard worker.

    Thanks
    Mike
