Yup - sad day.

amazing that product placement can "assist" in the making of a company - before it was known as "product placement" 




There was also this . . . . .

Easy Rider is the name of my store in Edmonton, AB, Canada.
My name is Warren Currie . . . and we SUP Surf indoors . . . in a shopping mall!
