Lou's in the News

**Lou Mongello** · 07-29-2004, 02:39 PM

Just thought I'd post a copy of an article that appeared in a New Jersey paper (the Courier-News) a couple of weeks ago.

Please stop laughing at how I look.

well done--it's great to get recognition when you've worked hard for it.--you must be a very busy guy

**Lou Mongello** · 07-29-2004, 05:01 PM

Thanks, EM!!

Yeah, I stay pretty busy. There are a few members here (ahem, Mickeybabe), that can attest to my many nights working until 3 a.m., etc. But I enjoy what I do, especially when it comes to site and book stuff. Truly a labor of love.

nice article , Lou- Its nice to see you get the recognition you deserve

Main Street Magic · 07-30-2004, 08:59 AM

now where did I put my magnifying glass....so I can read that article ;-)

**Lou Mongello** · 07-30-2004, 05:53 PM

Sorry... too small? I have a larger scan (not even sure anyone was going to read it!)

TrendyMagic · 07-30-2004, 05:57 PM

For those with bad eyes... I would post the big one.

Nice article. Many more papers to conquer yet...

**Lou Mongello** · 07-30-2004, 06:19 PM

OK.. I'll try and do it from here (I'm on dial-up. Ugh), or as soon as I get back home.

TrendyMagic · 07-30-2004, 06:22 PM

Ugh is right, just wait till you get home... that upload could take a while.

Main Street Magic · 08-02-2004, 08:23 AM

Please, before you go to all that......I WAS KIDDING!!!!!

Jiminy Cricket · 08-12-2004, 04:12 PM

Very nice article.

Hopefully, the plug for this site will bring many more members and a lot of sales for your book.

For any of you who may be interested in participating (as if you aren't getting tired of hearing me already), the folks over at the TheMouseForLess.com were kind enough to invite me to be part a special chat session tonight at 9:00 p.m.

You can learn more about it and come by and chat at http://www.themouseforless.com

And speaking of chat... don't forget that tomorrow night, Thursday (for those of you (like me) who wish it was Friday already at 9:00 p.m. is the regularly-scheduled DWT.com chat!! (affectionately known as "Lou's Frontierland Chattin' Arcade")

See you in the chat room(s)!!!!

LaBretonne2002 · 08-18-2004, 09:59 PM

Awesome article! I'm going to buy your book on payday and was wondering if you could photocopy that article for me when you send it. I'm giving it to my son for Christmas (from Santa - he knows all the cool authors...) and he's going to be soooo excited. So could you copy it for me? (btw I'll be sending a money order in US funds but I'll be contacting you via email before then to let you know it's on the way and to get a total)

Awesome article!

**Lou Mongello** · 08-18-2004, 10:11 PM

Thanks!!! I'd be happy to copy the article for you as well (even though I look fat in that picture)

buzzfanmom · 09-09-2004, 05:25 PM

My Dad works for the Courier News and I can't believe he didn't tell me about the article. I'm gonna have to give him a hard time. He's usually pretty good about telling me when there is an article I would like. I've been raving about the book to him and my mom ever since I bought it!
