Seems a bit of give and take to me. I can't immediately see anything 
wrong with their requests. Could be a good working relationship, 
particularly if they are going to provide speakers. That could be 
interesting.
Oh. I watched that Buster Keaton video. Really good stuff. He sure was 
able to pack a bunch of stuff in that Speeder. And the mileage it got 
was phenomenal.
