Regrettably, that weekend I am performing at a Monmouth County Clearwater festival in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The venue is only a block or two from the Stone Pony, [most famous for Bruce Springsteen], now sadly almost guaranteed to be torn down as an "urban renewal" measure. The reason for my likely visit is that I am the marketing/research director for a non-toxic, environmentally friendly ship bottom coating which meets the EU 2003 standard. When I was first approached about this product 5 years ago, I could not believe that it could prevent marine fouling. If our current set of tests is successful, I will be negotiating with Hempel Paints and Coatings for a worldwide distributorship. That would give me the excuse to stop over your way.
