Our West Coast Tour began today as Jay left this morning for Seattle, Washington. Tomorrow, he'll host his first open house from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm at the Habitat for Humanity. Over the next three weeks, Jay will host a total 12 open houses.
Each one is two hours long. We've picked locations that are off the beaten path to keep traffic down. We recognized that we could attract much more attention by parking in busy locations, but decided that it was more important to meet our loyal fans. We wanted to keep the passer-bys to a minimum, and have more time with you, our supporters. We hope the crowd will be small and Jay will have time to answer questions. Please keep in mind that this is a great opportunity to see the house and ask some basic questions, but Jay will not have ample time to answer a long list of questions.
Thanks to your continued requests to host an open house in Victoria, we have se aside the time from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm on July 14, 2008. When we planned our tour, we had no idea we'd receive so many emails and so much interest. It was fantastic, and we're greatful for your enthusiasm. We received requests for so many more stops, and we wish we could stop everywhere, but we need to keep to our time frame. We are already discussing another trip sometime next year. Your feedback will definitely play a part in deciding where we stop on our next tour.
It has been almost 1 year in the making, and now that it is posted on the net we couldn't be more pleased. Last year, when I first brought up the idea of a new website I could see Jay turn red right before my eyes. Our old site was designed over the course of 5 years by 4 different programmers and in a word was "clunky". After a little convincing, Jay was on board. Countless hours and thousands of dollars later, our new site is born.
Designed in Web 2.0, our new site is much more flexible and scalable. We receive so many emails full of great questions and comments that we wanted to incorportate into our site. Now, we can do that; and we can do it easily!
Thank you for your support over the years. And keep checking back. We'll be adding to our site on a regular basis.
