If you are going to be in Manhattan around 630/7pm on Monday the 29th, stop through and grab a $6 Sangria. Also buy a couple of raffle tix, to put you in contention to win the stay at the Italian villa. SuperNodes is taking care of the stay at the villa, not the transportation costs to get there. We are generous, but we still need to help pay for this $700B bailout.

In 1996, former record label publicist, Bryan R. Adams co-founded FAB Communications.
