EMStock is just 2 months away and the best $20.00 you can spend. We have a record number of registrants, a great CE schedule, and many other things. First, entertainment:
Thursday, September 25, 2008: Group jam on the EMStock stage—bring your instrument—and enjoy the quarter-million dollar sound system with your other EMS colleagues.
Friday, September 26, 2007: 281 South will be performing on the EMStock stage (http://www.myspace.com/281south) [Featuring Mansfield FD Paramedic Phillip Baker]
Saturday, September 27, 2008: Scott Walker and the Edge of Texas on the EMStock stage (http://www.myspace.com/281south) [Featuring ETMC EMS Paramedic Don Elbert]
SPECIAL NEWS: Texas Poet Laureate Steven Fromholz has tentatively agreed to be at EMStock Saturday afternoon as a celebrity chili and barbecue judge as well as perform some of his classic songs. If you have not met Steven, he is truly a Texas icon—and a great guy. We are waiting to hear if Kinky Friedman can make it and will hopefully have the Friedman/Fromholz Puppies and Legends tour.
