A quick BlogWorld Expo post.

I got orders from PVIT 6 this morning before I left regarding PVIT - PUSH PUSH PUSH!

So, I won't talk about the blog panel hosted by my buddy Dave Perlmutter that had a scad of big name bloggers that span the spectrum where it became apparent my blogging approach isn't as bad as I sometimes think. Nope. I won't talk about the undercover White House types, or the not-so-undercover DoD types I ran into. Or running into Mary Katherine Ham and finding out she knows me on sight. Or, I might be on Hugh Hewitt's show this afternoon... Or discovering I have fans (no groupies, SWWBO, I'm behavin')

Nope I'll get to the important stuff. That might get me in trouble with SWWBO. Okay, maybe I'm misbehavin' a *little.*

Gina! Gina of Pinups For Vets has endorsed Project Valour-IT and the Army Team!

And she has provided a personalized poster and calendar that will be available on a PVIT auction website near you, probably this evening.

Yep - that very one - with that lipstick mark there that is real, and I watched it be put in place! But I'm behavin' SWWBO - I didn't collect any personal marks - just some hugs from Carla of One Soldier's Mom and Andi of Spouse Buzz.

The Armorer is having a good time - but it would be much better if SWWBO was here.

Speaking of innovative ways to donate... organize the Power of Many.

John,

I don't know how it may be entered, but on my motion at an American Legion meeting, the post (AK Dept, Ketchikan Post 3) has agreed to sponsor a troop with a $600 donation. During discussion, we may be doing this quarterly.

Maybe a mention to all your readers to approach their Post (Legion, VFW, SAMS, etc.) and set up the same thing. If ever there is a group that understands what our men and women are going through right now, it is those of us who have been there.

Hunter
Ketchikan

Thanks, Hunter. Thank you very much.

John, While you're enjoying the hedonistic pleasures of Vegas, could you do me a favor and find Stephen Green, VodkaPundit, and tell him Mike Daley says "hi"? Tanks! Mike
 
"Or discovering I have fans" Hey! What are we? Chopped liver? "Gina of Pinups For Vets has endorsed Project Valour-IT and the Army Team!" Well, at least I can't be blamed for that one! Personal Request - If you see any of my demographic there....tell them where to find me?
 
I heard you on the Hew Hughitt show. You sound much like I imagined. Regards.
 
The Pinups for Vets calendar and poster John mentions in this post are now available to the highest bidder: Calendar Poster
 
Dear Mouse - heh - how carefully neutrally worded that statement was...! Raging lunatic, or voice of reason, all fall in the group there... 8^ D
 
Maggie - commenters are *family*... and no, I haven't seen any sailors, but then, I'm using Rain-X on my glasses, so wet stuff just slides away... Mike - I haven't seen him yet (which means seen him to recognize him - but if I see him tomorrow, I'll pass on your greetings.
 
Show Girls. Hew Hughitt. Climbing the ladder fast? Links and transcripts please.
 
I'm sorry I was imprecise. You had the deep voice expected of a big man, and spoke in a thoughtful and erudite manner.
 
Heh - Mouse, I thought your comment was brilliant! Whoever read it, from Princess Crabby to Cliff, could have walked away from it with whatever they wanted. There's a future in political speechwriting for you! Ledger - I've done Hewitt before. Transcripts? Hey man, remember where I am and what the ads say!
 
Woohoo, John! Loved the pic of you and Gina! Have a great time and say hey to everybody for me!
 
I am Cliff's polar opposite? Thanks! I like it.
