The Busse "Proxy" system is definately a great thing for those who can't make it to every show. Having a good friend to proxy for you is the other part of the equation. I've developed a good relationship with some Great Dogs over the years. I proxy for them when I can, and they proxy for me when I can't make it to a particular show, it really works out great. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
