I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Pennington Entrepreneur's StartUps - March 2006 What: Interactive entertainment company Who: Fiona and Steve Markowitz, co-founders of Party Hats Entertainment Where: San Diego When: Started in 1993 At a birthday party 14 years ago, Fiona Markowitz, 40, rolled up paper bags into hats and let her children paint them for fun. Encouraged by party attendees who were wowed by her creativity, she and her husband Steve, 45, took a chance at making it a business. Now Party Hats Entertainment offers pre-made hats and many d�cor options, such as feathers, buttons, beads, silk flowers and more. Fiona credits some of their success to The Special Event, a yearly international conference and expo for event specialists that she began attending seven years ago. "That's where I learned who the [event] industry people were, what their greatest needs were and what we'd be able to accomplish with [our business]," she recalls. The Markowitzes honed their business skills while learning about the preparation and psychology that go into planning events. "We try to understand who's going to be there and what the needs are," says Fiona. Initially, there was resistance from event planners who thought the idea wouldn't appeal to adults, but the Markowitzes began sponsoring hat-decorating events at the conventions they attended. Says Steve, "Once those event planners saw the energy and realized that it's for [all] cultures, all ages and both genders, it sold 10 times over." Party Hats has been hired around the country for events of all sizes and purposes. Requested themes are tied into the service. Customers can also throw a Party Hats event on their own with the company's Party in a Box product. The business, with projected 2006 sales over $1 million, isn't just about hats, however. The Markowitzes have made flip-flops, gloves and handbags, all of which can be pre-decorated on request. The latest product: Pimp Your Tux, which gives men the chance to decorate some tuxedo pieces. "People say, 'This is the best thing ever,'" says Fiona. "Our best source of work is the people who spread that message to others." The above was from http://www.entrepreneur.com/magazine/entrepreneursstartupsmagazine/2006/march/83538.html

10. PGOPEN_071118_388.JPG: After awhile, they ran out of the reported 1,200 pre-made hats that the staff had made up the previous day and people had to get the hats forms made for them. Note they start with a paper bag, then a piece of cloth, and then some elastic.
11. PGOPEN_071118_434.JPG: The off-color section of the floor is submerged by about 1/4 inch. There are four of these areas in the courtyard. When it's not a full-house event like this, the water flows from the gaps on the right, goes down the slight slope to the drains on the left.
12. PGOPEN_071118_684.JPG: A view from the second floor. The group on stage right now is the Howard Gospel Choir. It was getting dark when they went on and I never got any good shots of them.
