Anthony, I was the one who made that statement about thousands of hours, and if
you look at it, I was saying thousands for Christina, hundreds for Joe. I was
talking about cumulative hours for Christina, and feel confident that over
all the BrickFests, she has spent that many hours. I know for a fact that Joe
spent many hundred. Heck it takes 12 hours to drive from Raleigh to DC just to
check out the event site. Which I am sure Joe did multiple times.
