    Quoted in ESPN ... nice. Hey, I just wanted to say that you have done an awesome job organizing and getting the word out. The Rockets, the fans, and CC addicts owe you alot, thank you so much for you work. No matter how the vote turns out tonight (my sense is that it will win big), your efforts have been huge.

    Great job, thanks

    Thank you kind sir. Anyone who loves Chucky Brown so much they would start a fan club for him is ok by me! [​IMG]

    Seriously, thanks for the kind words. I will be happy when this is all over but I'm glad I could help.

    Now, let's hope for a big win so I don't have to go on a murderous rampage. [​IMG]

    Jeff,

    being Down Under, what time does voting close and do they start counting straight away afterwards and by what time (Houston time) will we have an idea on both the Arena and that other vote for the, what is it called, ohh the presidency.

    Voting ends in an hour and a half here for the election and the counting begins immediately following the close of the polls.

    The rest of the country has already began counting as a few states have already closed the polls. The eastern coast states close in 30 minutes and the west coast in 3 and a half hours.

    We should know about the arena by no later than 9pm local time (about 3 and a half hours from now) one way or the other. If things go well, we could know sooner. It likely will not go past 10pm either way.

    Hope the Rockets whip the Faker$ with a last second shot and then they announce the passing of the arena. Man, I wish I could be at that game.

    Good work Jeff-
    Your tireless promotion of the Rockets in your campaign to keep them in town is apprecaited by us all. In our daily arguing over how many ISO's to run or whether francis really is the second coming, we often overlook the bigger picture, which is that we are lucky to even have a team. I am fully confident that without your support this thing defintely wouldnt pass. So, let me say confidently, evne though the polls havent come in yet, I truly appreciate all your hard work on this issue.

    BTW, good interview on espn radio earleir today.

    Jeff...you da man! One man can make all the difference in the world! Thank you.

    By the way, I got my parents to vote for the new arena!!! Last time, they voted against it. So, I let em have it(they know I'm a huge Rockets fan) and have corrected them. My father smelled a lousy deal the first time.

    Thanks again, Jeff. Wonderful job. Go Rox and the new arena!!!

    You should take a vacation! Go check out Paris or something for a few days. A plane ticket will set you back 500 bucks. If the arena passes Les should fork that over in a split second. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge (Les if you are out there and you have an ounce of generosity).

    Thanks for an incredible job. You sacrificed more than anyone in the city of Houston to get the arena passed. Everyone else who worked on this thing is either getting paid to do it or is going to make a profit in the future. You did it out of enthusiasm and pride (and the opportunity to park it on the coach with a Shiner and watch the game). Great work.

    Cheers, Jeff. I have you to thank for me not having to do without the Oilers and Rockets. Smooch. I'd love to buy you a veggie burger sometime. [​IMG]
