Saints Rest or bust............

As expected it sounds like there will be many in attendance for the "Grand Roopening" on Friday, I hope everyone has a safe trip there and back home again. Paparazzi should not be a problem as "The Roop" has switched from using doubles this year to clones instead. Thanks to the revenue sharing plan that the D4 schools have, Daisy Moses Medical College has created one of the finest genetics labs in the country; so creating the clones was not a problem. The use of doubles in the past for personal appearances was not without it's problems. Doubles could learn "The Roops" mannerisms, but could never get the voice quite right. Those in attendance will quickly realize why "The Roop" will never record an album. Trust me, it's more irritating than junk email.

The only downside for this weekend is that I'll only have one of my clones available. The other one is chairing a MENSA Seminar the same day and can't assist. So the plan is to switch cars with the other one somewhere west of Rockford and hopefully send the media circus on to Decorah so the Saints Rest crowd can fully enjoy the "Roop Experience" in peace.

While I never disclose what my personal appearance fee is, I can say that it is sufficient in this case for me to do a limited number of mug signings while I am there. However, under no circumstances will I autograph waffles. Photos with "The Roop" will be available for a fee, unless you are a right wing conservative; then of course there will be no charge. Video greetings to send to a friend or family member can be made, for a bigger fee naturally. Your language choices for the greetings are limited, in descending order, to English, Russian and Spanish.

I hope everyone enjoys their visit but only Beloit fans will enjoy the game.
