Kuddo's to Brian!

Brian was out of town one night this week for work. He had to go to Tulsa to the annual Brick Layer's Competition where mason's gather from all over to compete in a brick laying contest. His company sponsors the competition. The mason who wins for most bricks laid and best quality moves on to nationals in Las Vegas where they have the chance to win a truck and over $100, 000 dollars in cash and prizes. It is apparently a very big deal. Well, Brian was asked to be the emcee. If any of you know Brian, you know this is right up his alley. His boss told him he was also in charge of Marketing, since that is what his degree is in. Well, Brian had called the week before to let all the news channels down there know of their event the following week. Out of 4 stations, 3 showed up so he was very excited. He cut a CD with music that contained the words "brick", etc. in them such as "Brick House" and others. Brian was interviewed by all the stations and was told he did an awesome job. His boss said that the event had never been that great before. I know he will be embarassed me bragging on him, but we are all very proud of him. He did a great job! Here are some links you can check out from the stations. I think he is interviewed in two of these listed. Check out this hottie!!!!
