Missouri Licensing

[Dan Bowers, CMI]

I understand today was Missouri Association of Vampire Day at the Capitol and that the Vampires from all over the state flocked to Jeff City trying to PUSH their legislative itenaries on Missouri Legislators.

Anybody from Missouri hear anything from their legislator regarding if we're on the Vampires goals for this season.
