Wow Mark...impressive. I LOVE the way you display the Medusa, sick idea! How did you do it?

Really I can understand why Oakley was stunned by your set-up it really is amazing. Can't wait to see what the future holds!

And what I really liked, it getting to know you better...you and I (Dawn) have another shared passion. Event planning, I plan events here in Hawaii and have been loving it for the last 3+ years.

Well deserved!

Your killing me here! I had to go put the makeup I cried off back on. What a wonderful review. Very touching and so great to hear. Maybe Oakley will

Great write up. Always amazing that people have so much to say, and there is such variety.

C'mon fellas! April is 1/2 over and we still need someone to step into the light! PM me if you feel like being a star!

Have a guest this month, for the month of May, the Thombs'(eses) return with some around the world O-love spreading. My brother whips up some pictures from O spots across the globe and writes about some of his experiences.

Check it out and get your answers in to me so we can fill next months. Remember collection size does not matter, just some good thoughts put in words.

Nice collector spotlight. I wish I could visit the O-Stores all over the world as you do Chris.

Cool Spotlight, Chris. Thanks for taking the time to share your passion with the rest of us.

he's famous too...he did an iceskating show here in the netherlands, it was on tv for about 3 months ( he didn't make it to the finals though )
great spotlight

Nice to read about another Thombs member. I guess the entire Thombs family has been assimilated by the "O"!!!!

My personal mission! Actually he got me into it.

DAN - "YOU HAVE BEEN ASSIMILATED!!!!! RESISTANCE is FUTILE!!!!" lol hahahaha

That is really cool that you saw Sterren Dansen Op Het Ijs!! I got to see it online.
I heard that it ended up being a pretty big show over there. It was a lot of fun, did you know of Maribelle??

I wore my watch and some O clothing during warmups and rehearsals, not sure if any of that got into the tv show. hope so.
I also have tried to wear some piece of O during my shows. In one of my shows I sported romeos, and also the AP vest. (but that was a show in Germany and also in NY City)

Great and very interesting spotlight, thanks for doing it Chris.

And like you said, I also get the " Are you sponsered by Oakley "coment once in a while.
