Dear Bill, I bought my first pair of Stix at the Renaissance Festival about a month ago. I also ordered your tape and had it shipped 2-day express. Enclosed is my money order to pay for the tape. I am sorry that I didn't get it off to you 2-days ago like I promised. I want to do something special for you to make up for being late. So I am creating an Illustration for you that you may, with my permission, use as advertisement for the Stix or frame it and place it on your wall. You may do what you would like with it, it is a gift! You have already given me a gift! and you didn't even realize it! About five years ago I was run over by a trash truck. Almost half of the bones in my body were broken, muscles ripped, nerves pinched. It took me about a year to learn how to walk again. I had three surgery's and tons of therapy. Now I am as close to 100% as I will get. I can walk like normal and everything! The only problem that I have is that my body gets real stiff and painful all of the time. The doctors gave me exercises to do to loosen me up and relieve some of the pain, but they didn't work very good! For about a week after I received the Stix, I practiced the Tic-Toc, and got really good at it. But I also started getting looser and the pain in my neck, back and shoulders faded away! I use my Stix for about 30 min. each day after work! I feel much better! Thank you! If you hadn't created Crystal Stix, I wouldn't be able to move a freely as I do today! This is why I am going to send you a gift! Thank You! I am an Illustrator for a living, it is what I do best. So I want to share my best with you! It will take me a few weeks to complete it as I am working on it at night after work! You work the Stix with one controller! I have tried and tried! Maybe one day I will be able to do it too!
