Hi Craig! I stumbled across your book & blog (I’m not sure how precisely, I meander through the internet a lot) and I wanted to thank you for both. They’re great reads and I’m appreciating them a lot.
Cheers Sean, hope you get many years’ use out of both! (Even after the 2e of the guide comes out.) 😉
Craig, any SLO county appearances on your whirlwind book tour?
Mike, yes! Dates haven’t been confirmed, but SLO is on the horizon (finally)!
Craig,
Can me and my boys come see you on the 25th of March at Church of the Foothills? Or do we have to pay to take the course?
