[RP TownTalk] 2nd Conspiracy, WTOP's David Burd Make Riverdale Park Debut at ArtsFest11

Wed Apr 27 04:25:16 UTC 2011

Not a problem, Ed, but in most instances, the videos and the groups shown in
your email had nothing to do with this year's event. Otherwise we would have
included video's in our press release.

While I am thinking of it, I've noticed that you use esq. behind your name.
Folks who use esquire are lawyers. I guess you are relatively new in
Riverdale Park -- I checked the DC area for lawyers by your name and found
none -- and, after a prolonged search, found none in the nation, either, So,
I though: "that nice Ed Neilmeyer,esq who offers his pithy insights on Town
Talk for free all the time probably needs to promote his law practice a bit
more." So, Ed, why not use the ArtsFest2011 stage to advertise being a
lawyer in Riverdale Park? It's a great way to get out in front of the
community and let them know that we have a new legal eagle soaring above our
town... someone we can trust.

As your young associates may have already informed you, we have a new
fundraising program for this year's festival and for a contribution at the
Gilbert Stuart level you can gain a lot of attention at ArtsFest2011. We
look forward to hearing back from you and to meeting you Sunday!

Thanks again for your interest in ArtsFest2011.

Jeffrey Yorke, not an esquire.
