I may have an interesting project for you man.. about how much would a moderately large custom neon-sign run? Dude, remember those books piretti used to write, about like THE TOMB OF ANAK and all that/

the price really depends on what it is. depends on the type of glass that needs to be used, what size glass, how many feet of it, the dificulty of the piece, what material it would be mounted on and what kind of transformer the piece would need. basically, i can't even come up with a ballpark figure without knowing more.

whats your idea?

as for peretti, i've never read THE TOMB OF ANAK. that was part of a book series if i'm not mistaken. the cooper kid's adventures? or something like that. are they any good?

THIS PRESENT DARKNESS, PIERCING THE DARKNESS, THE OATH and MONSTER are the Peretti books i've read all the way through. i'm working on HOUSE right now and its pretty good. not quite as intense as THE OATH or MONSTER but still a damn good book.

Ya it was part of those Cooper kid adventures. They werent bad for what tehy were, serial novel type things. Enjoyable when i was a kid. This present darkness and the follow up are the only ones i've read. definately a good read, into christianity or not.

if you enjoyed THIS PRESENT DARKNESS you should really check out THE OATH and MONSTER. they are both pretty intense and less "christian". MONSTER is probably the least "christian" seeming book of all of his. i think its written great b/c it fully envolopes you into the scenes. you literally fall into the book.....at least i did.

hell man, i dont care if its christian, buddhist or hindu, if it's a good book, it's a good book! I'll look around for it.

yeah, most of the time me neither but sometimes if a book has too big of an agenda it just becomes annoying. i'm a full fledged Jesus man and most christian (insert any entertainment medium here) bugs the ever loving piss out of me.

Hey Blaze, how fragile are these signs?

Say, if I was on tour...do you think it could surivive in a van full of gear if it had some sort of cushioning around it?

possibly but it would need more than just some sort of cushioning. it would need its own case or box and have pretty specific cushioning or packing material. it would also need to be handled fairly carefully when it was out of the box as well.

it also would depend greatly on how intricate the glass was.
