Seems the dog was wandering around as Mark surveyed new property in the Hollywood Hills, and inadvertently slipped off a nearby cliff. Thankfully, the dog survived, and only hurt its leg, but had to be driven to a surgeon in Irvine, CA on the same morning that Mark was to fly to WI.
So, upon buying some cases of Rolling Rock beer for the opening, I noticed a promotional item hanging from the side of the box - a green foam rubber Rolling Rock jersey/bottle sleeve. It was beyond ridiculous.
We decided that an effigy of Mark needed to wear the jersey during the reception. Everyone loved talking to the very sporty artist.
