You said your name was Devo? Love the hat. I know someone who could snazz it up a bit. Kind of a layered look. She does wedding cakes but I can see possibilities.

Listen, this is a great deal, come stay one night in the castle and stay for the breakfast buffet. If you like it you can buy what we call a share of the castle where you will get a certain amount of time to stay there. Think of it as a time share if you will…
