Congrats on making 20! I'm very pleased with Apollo gobos and gels and will continue doing business! Now if I could just get a swatch book.

Great work, Apollo! Congratulations for sticking it out in a tough industry and developing good stuff all the while.
Come back next year and you can buy me a drink.

Congratulations to a great company, and a special thank you to Keith for all the contributions here. SO, ummm, got any cool 20th year swag? Oh, forgive me, where are my manners, A quick google to wiki search tells me that the 20th Aniversary is china, and what better gift than some Apollo china, oops, its discontinued:
APOLLO APL1 at Replacements, Ltd
I do like that they can make a cup and saucer wall sconce or nightlight with your favorite discontinued pattern.

Randomness is good.... right?

I would be happy to send you an Apollo swatch book (if Keith hasn't taken care of you already). Just shoot me an Email with what address you would like it to go to: john (at) fullcompass (dot) com.

Best,
John

A question was asked within another forum how many packages of Beechies gum we've shipped with orders in the last 20 years.

To my best guess we're in the neighborhood of 159,000 packages of Beechies gum thus far!

(THAT'S alot of cavities!)
