Title: WHERE HAVE YOU SEEN BILL'S RECORD?
Post by: blackslax on July 20, 2011, 08:42:40 AM: I would like to start a thread on where people are hearing about Bill's 311 pass. This is what I have gotten:

1.) Associated Press out of Portland and Baltimore have called.
2.) Fox News and Fox online (it is in the leasure section online)
3.) Today show ran it on the bottom ticker tape Tuesday.
4.) WBZ in Boston.
5.) Fox in Tampa interviewed Bill on the road.
6.) Paper in Virginia ran the story.
7.) LA Times requested pics and info.
8.) Paper in Berlin requested info.
9) KWTK in Waco Texas ran it.
10) WMAZ in Macon GA

Keep 'em coming.

Didn't catch what station, if I find out I'll let you know.
