[s-cars] Re Audiocy

[Tom Green]

I think that if you explain that a few years ago the CO branch of the  
Audi Mafia made a
play to muscle in on the national scene by inviting all the s-car e- 
mail listers to a
bash in Boulder they called the s-car nationals.  Backed by a massive  
publicity campaign
on the s-cars.org web site and yahoo-groups,  the Don and his  
Lieutenants held court in
their headquarters, turning heads of celebrity guests and twisting  
arms of listers with a
show of the green monstah and other fabulous audi s-car iron.

Now, the NE Audi Mafia could not let that go unanswered, so the URS// 
Fest was organized
to counter them.  Just think, if we hadn't acted when we did, we  
could be migrating to CO
every year to pay homage to the s-car.   The Don helped us out by  
going Hollywood and
TV, and the MN clan resented the CO success, but we had our own great  
organization of
audiots and beat them at their own game.

Now, if we can just move Steamboat.  Well, I suppose we need to leave  
something to the
CO boys, since they are great audiots as well.  What a coup with the  
Today Show, Paulie.
Can we get that segment rerun?  Or a copy for Apple TV that could be  
mysteriously played
just before the news.   Perhaps Matt would like to cover the Audi  
winter driving school and
the Barcelona experience?

You should make one of those ipod  podcasts to help explain this.  It  
doesn't seem to make
a lot of sense in an off-the-cuff presentation.  :-)
