PIG GIVES KUDOS Shelly, 1. So I run into Tribe of Judah Rex Keating at church today. He tells me this little story of what happened to him at the Harley dealer this week. Rex is the Minster for the wedding on the front cover of this months. He went in to the Harley dealer and the salesman he knows comes up to him. The guy asks Rex if he knew that he was on the cover of <strong>Thunder</strong> <strong>Roads</strong> this month. Rex said “yeah, cool huh.” The hands Rex a copy and says that he had been saving it for him all month. Rex tells him he already had a copy. The asks him how did he get one and Rex tells him that he knows Pig. “You know the PIG”, the guy says “Oh wow, that is so cool. Hey tell him to stop by some time I’d love to meet him.” So Rex tells him “Dude, he comes in here at least 2x’s a month” 2. Every time someone asks Deneen (the bride on the cover) who is that bride on the cover, she squeals in a high pitched voice “That’s MEEEEEEEEEEE! It is so funny to hear her do that! Just thought you would like to know people really do like the work that you do on the magazine. Pig EDITOR’S REPLY: Thanks Pig! We love our readers.. oh yea, and you, too! Page 10 H <strong>April</strong> <strong>2013</strong> ROAR BY THE SHORE ANNOUNCES MOVE TO CORPUS CHRISTI Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the group decided to bring the event to Corpus Christi for the first time, according to a news release from the Corpus Christi Convention & Visitors Bureau. BikeFest, a volunteer-run nonprofit, teamed up with Budweiser Corpus Christi to bring the event, and its economic boom, to the area. “We strive for and expect to provide the best rally experience in <strong>Texas</strong> with top notch entertainment. October is a beautiful time of year on the <strong>Texas</strong> coast,” said G.J. Reyna, BikeFest organizer. Corpus Christi was selected in part because the statewide draw has participants coming from Houston, Austin and San Antonio and the drive to the coast is particularly scenic, organizers said. The visitor’s bureau projects the benefit as $5.8 million based on expenses for hotels, restaurants and retail spending, The group also has donated more than $700,000 to charities and nonprofits during the past 19 years. “It’s up to our community to welcome participants and make them feel at home so we can make Corpus Christi their permanent base,” said Keith Arnold, CEO of the Convention & Visitor’s Bureau. The event, planned for Oct. 11-13, is sponsored locally by L&F Distributing and will include field riding events, motorcycle tours, bike contests, a sunset parade and concert, according to the news release. Many of the events will be held at the American Bank Center. EDITOR’S NOTE: While not everyone is thrilled and rumors abound as to other reasons for the move, we know that our biker community will rally around the location, filling it with roaring pipes and brotherhood.
