Should I invite my friends, George and Andre, to join BP, promoting
preservation as heritage tourism?  We would like to be a major league town,
some folks don't think Carolina Hurricanes NHL hockey is the ticket.  We
have the shiny new Entertainment and Sports Arena (the no-name ESA, they're
still fighting over the naming rights) out in the sprawl-zone, it would be a
fine venue for camel wrestling.

I'd go.
