K: Any ideas or plans for FPD moving forward that you can spill the beans on?
C: At this moment, no. But never say never.
K: Anything else you want to share about FPD for sponsors or enthusiasts?
C: Sponsors - Please reach out ahead of time (aka, like more than a week ahead of time, lol.) If you want to be a sponsor, all I ask is that you embrace and celebrate the day with the community, no need to pay anything, just tell me that you want in and how. you will support FPD (event, special pens, discounts, etc.) and you will be listed on the site for free. For Enthusiasts - please let me know if your local club is doing anything fun or special to celebrate and engage with retailers that you think should be a part of FPD.
