<p>[QUOTE="pool138, post: 1401783, member: 15093"]I thought this might interest some people. I've had a short chat with a gentleman named Jayme Blaschke on Facebook who is in the process of writing a non-fiction book about the Chicken Ranch. A quick plug for Jayme: If you go to Facebook visit his page titled "Chicken Ranch Central" and click LIKE. There is a lot of access to other info on the Chicken Ranch on the page as well. </p><p>Anway he has allowed me to post our short conversation we had on Facebook about the "Good For One Ride" token so here goes:</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/#" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/#"></a></p><p><br /></p><p>[h=6]<a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1173328545" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1173328545" rel="nofollow">John Gross</a></p><p>[/h][h=6]I have an original Chicken Ranch token if you are interested in pics.
