Dragon Boat a Success!
The dragon boat unveiling was a resounding success! She floated, she paddled, she roared, she breathed fire. It was a wonderful and amazing experience.
I'll post more photos in the coming days, and we'll begin sending out the various swag over the next week or two. But for now, I wanted to send out a hearty thanks, and a quick shot of the dragon in action: (photo by: Paulius Musteikis

Party (within 100 mile radius of Chicago) with THE flame-throwing dragon head. We will bring the head to a location of your choosing, and impress your friends, family, and most importantly, your neighbors, to say nothing of the local fire and police departments, with your own private fire breathing dragon head. We will bring fire extinguishers - you bring the party!
