[TheForge] Post Vise Craziness (utah hotels, screwjob, OT)

Wed Feb 16 19:51:53 EST 2005

This is probably good advice. I spoke with an attorney and he told me
we could do a demand letter in the vein you describe. She's the owner,
so I'm at the top of the flaky feelgood chainletter quasi-buddhist food
chain. Whoo. After the letter we hae decide about suing. 

We'll see. I don't really want to give her my money, but I want the
wedding to work more. We'll see how long that balance remains.
