>On October 14, 02, Grant County Journal ran a spread on this too Lava saga showing Blake's conceptualized configuration of what a 60-foot lava lamp looks like. That article revealed Brent avoids telling how much the thing will cost. "Were pursueing a (dollar) number. We don't want to scare people off before we get going," Blake said in a recent interview. $25 Million Dollars is not hard to forget.

>FROM? TRY--$25 MILLION!!!! Re: 3 Million vs 25 Million. I would imagine that minor reduction (not to scare people off) came from the same place,lava lamp project talk. In other such extrinsic project talk, as if it was rated a plus, they boldly brag about all the publicity IT brought to Soap Lake. On a scale of one to ten, how is that? Even Gary Condit would agree to take a minus ten for his share. More fantasy vs reality.

WHERE DID THE 3 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT FIGURE COME FROM? Spokesman Review reported on Brent Blake being vague about the cost. (Less than $10 million, but more than $3 million.) Better run that one by us again. $25 MILLION is what your applications reads. News reporters get a mixed version. The general public stands by with mouth gaping. The play-let goes on changing it's colors.

News media still useing 3 million cost factor as late as Monday, November 18, 2002? Blake's Wa-Cert application was dated Oct.01,02, cost says $25 Million. (re Washington Notebook. re Coumbian staff writer, Margaret Ellis. re ..LAVA LAMP TOUTED AS TOURIST DRAW), Monday, November 18, 2002. Article mentions the $3 million, 60-foot lava lamp that is expected to fill the empty storefronts in town.. according to "authorities". Gheez...what AUTHORITIES? And then came the shop-talk by George Sharp, CTED, whose byline is no less disturbing. Sharp indicated, No one else has one of these LAVA icons. George Sharp is tourism-development manager for the state of washington. Sharp spells out his own feelings. .... "one of the keys in marketing is to be there first". HELLO GEORGE! GIANT LAVA? CHICAGO? TRADEMARK? REGISTERED? Whose on first George?
