There's a shop in Effingham called Crush's that I popped into one day when I was bored. The manager seemed pretty cool. I wonder if they'd be interested.

i had heard that a toyota ( i think it was) dealer up in danville was gonna host a meca show coming soon.... i wanna say sometime in march... but not completely positive

it's not all about the sanction right now though. when it comes to Car audio in illinois, there really hasnt been much the past few years. the last i remember was a few shows in quincy for usaci, which ther eare 7 shows listed at the same place this year, a few local shows in springfield, and then one dbdrag two years ago. theres just not much going on in illinois with it.

Here are the rules, I am trying to keep them as simple as I can.
