So what happens to the banner used today? Will it be used again for the Baton Rouge flight next weekend? Do you know own it, JudgeHolden?

No. We will have a new banner, likely more colorful, for next week. Working with vendor on that now.

The Jax banner if you look at it is reused for each new pull. They just change the letters. We don’t own it.

If my existing career doesn’t work out (after a 29 year successful run) maybe I’ll go into advertising. It’s kinda fun.

That's what my degree is in from LSU.

I still have nightmares from Dr. Elsie Hebert.

It’s late and I’m punchy and a little buzzed. So I’ll share this.

Sometimes when I’m really stressed, I have a nightmare that I show up unprepared for a test and my professor starts chasing me with a shotgun. That’s when I know it’s time for a break!

Great job, sir. Everyone has done an amazing job. From Smalls and you spearheading things, to the social media blitz.

We kinda whiffed on that. Almost everything ended up under #FreeDevinWhite.

I’m not a big twitter guy. (OAF!). Looks like a lot of people might have been using OperationPurpleSkies.

Whaddya think? Should we start pumping stuff out under that hashtag?

My media priority now is connecting with producers from ESPN and CBS to see if either will pick it up. We will time slot the flight depending on how that goes.

It’s going to be more than $2000 to do that flight. Because people donated based on the estimates, I’m paying the difference from my pocket

No dude. Don't do that. People donated to fly the planes first and foremost. Use the money for that, you've done enough.

I agree. Not sure why you would pay out of pocket, other than your own donation.

Seriously. At least use the funds for the plane and then donate to the Cajun Navy for charitable donation tax purposes, right?

I would keep going with the #FreeDevinWhite hashtag.

If there are cost overruns, you have the donations to cover it. No one is going to fault you for paying it from the collected money.

I think the first reference to "skies" came from the first nola.com report. Other people just retweeted that report and then other people used it.
