Exclamation Spohn BURNED DOWN! but still in business

This just in, 10-25-06
The building Spohn uses to make everything, has just been burned down! Steve Spohn was on TV but did not say anything except they were going to be 'offline' for a while.
If you have an order, be advised it may be a while until they can get back to you!

I just saw that he said he thinks that they may only have smoke damage.

Lets hope that they didn't have much damage.

I'm glad he got away without much damage! He'll still probably be slow getting things to full speed again. Looks like I got all my stuff in just in time!

From the other thread, directly from Steve:

Our shop is about the only thing that survived. I don't know how, but we have no damage at all other than some smoke in the shop, but nothing major. I don't know what's gonna happen, we have no electric or phone. Thanks for thinking of us, if I need any help I'll let you know.
