Because I have to write for the Cascade first, I won't be able to update you guys until late at night, possibly after midnight PST, but I'll still try to keep you guys and gals up date.

I'm nervous out of my mind for Friday, so I hope media people are down to earth. Thanks to Freeway for the giving me the best advice I've gotten so far.
Dan Kinvig is the sports editor for the Abbotsford News and is a really good guy. He's also very tall. If Dan's any indicator, Abbotsford sports media folk are pretty good. (He might not be representative, though.)
