I'll call a few of my friends in the business tomorrow and see what I can find out for you. Did I ever tell you I used to know the San Diego Chicken? True story. My dad used to run a modeling agency, and the San Diego Chicken brought his girlfriend in. Well, he and my dad became great friends, and I used to get free tickets whenever I wanted to Chargers games. Here is a weird, but fascinating story: the San Diego Chicken hated chicken. Good guy though, I still see him once or twice a year, but never during hunting season. He is always laying low during those times.
