If you get a chance, go visit Gary while he’s on his book tour.  I promise you will walk away extremely fulfilled by the experience as I was.  Here’s a video of Gary addressing his supporters at The Corkscrew last night.  I don’t know one person who walked away from the party last night who wasn’t, at the very least, intrigued by his genuine desire to personally meet all of those who came out to support him.  Houston thanks you, Gary!  We hope you enjoyed it just as much as we did.
