That was a really great publicity. Great job guys! It was especially great that Wade had a chance to give some good information to the public about how harmless they are.

Great job everyone! The news guy was sweating bullets after the camera was turned off. Took him about 10 minutes to get his heart beat down to normal. Got to give him credit though, that was the first time he had ever had any contact with tarantulas. Took me a while before I would let one walk on me.

Fantastic coverage. Very cool job Wade. You really got across to Kevin. The public image of tarantulas should be improved. Kevin handling one was good image builder for T's. I wonder how many bets were placed at the news room re to Kevin holding one. :lol:
Yes Ollie my hands made it on TV. :lol:

Is the number of ATS members accurate, only 300? That seems low to me. Or is that number only talking about "official" paid members? If so, then it isn't counting me, cause I need to renew. D'oh!
