    JS, I'm a Texan currently working in the Boulder area.  I've ran into
    some of the 'We don't like Texan's' attitude while I've been there
    over the past few months.  It's nothing overert (except occasionaly
    while driving on the road -- I still live in Texas and have Texas
    plates on my car there).  I've also met a lot of nice people there
    too. 

    I don't understand the prejudice.  I know Texan's don't care if
    someone's from Colorado.  I've asked a couple of people in Boulder
    about the attitude and the answers I get are all different and silly
    to say the least.  Who knows.  I wouldn't worry about problems at the
    shows.  I don't think anyone will care where you're from.  If you
    expect to do well, sales wise, then go. Besides, you can't compensate
    for prejudice.  Prejudiced people aren't rational and can't be
    reasoned with or appeased.  The problem is their's. 

    If you want to ask me anymore questions off-list about being a Texan
    in Colorado, you can email me at BJSetzer AT CuriousCatDesigns.com.  
    Don't want to start a Texas / Colorado war here on the list  :-D 

BJ
