The plot thickens... this morning, we got a call from Judge Joe Brown's show as well, which is funny, because I told AJ that if we were going to go on *any* show, I'd much rather go on Judge Joe Brown than anybody else. His persona is definitely one of a no-bullshit guy.

But... we are about 99% certain that we're just going to go to plain old Placer County Small Claims and try the case.

Oh, and Steve... I can totally see why you'd say that about AJ, but you haven't seen him in his element. He does most of our negotiations, and the industry people who've had a business discussion or negotiation with him can attest that the quiet, shy little guy you see at shows is *totally* a veneer. He's actually more outspoken and confident than I am in many cases, and I have no doubt that he'd be able to handle anything thrown at him without being fazed.
