woah; I'll have to email Chester about this one. Chester is a bigfoot
hunter of sorts; he's a cryptozooligist. I met him a while back at a
celebration and we became friendly (he was so cool; he worked for Ted
Nugent and got me a graph) a couple weeks ago, I saw him on a TV show
on the history channel (sort of like ghost hunters but they look for
other claims like bigfoot or chubracabre). Anyway, I wonder if he's
spoken to Lon.... that would be interesting to see if he interviewed
him or something.
