Kings Fans Bee Ad

Agreed about moving it to the left... actually in retrospect I like the font contrast, size, and the background on clash4u's better. We already acknowledge Here We Stay, and if Jiffy Lube's contribution is small it seems better to use the space for our message. This is a message from the fans after all!
I want to take the time to thank everyone for their feedback and support.
To be honest, I have not had much sleep in the last few weeks for all the things that go on in my life from work to my private life to working on things to save our Kings.
I had completely forgot that my wife knew how to use Photoshop. Not that this matters, but I almost forgot to review scholarship applications from my students and today was the deadline. I had that sitting in my e-mail for a few weeks and it just slipped my mind until today. My mind is mostly on networking with folks and doing what I can to help support the cause to save our Kings.
Not too many folks know, but my original idea was to film a documentary on why we need a new arena in Sacramento. I had already spent quite a bit of money to fly out to Los Angeles (and attend a few Kings games there) last December to film Staples Center and its surrounding area along with buying a Cannon HD camera and other equipment for it. We were also going to film in San Francisco (AT&T Ballpark), San Jose and other locations.
Unfortunately I thought we were in the 5th inning but it turned out that we were headed to the 9th inning so that idea was scrapped.
There is also going to be an article in the New York Times and it should be published this Sunday.
Yours truly was interviewed for it and I pushed for KingsFans.com to be mentioned, but we'll see how that goes.
Again thank you to everyone and I hope there are no hard feelings. I am very proud of how we have all come together with a common goal: To save our SACRAMENTO KINGS.

The last "Mike version" is a done deal right? Thanks for all that went into it.
I'd have advocated for more anonymity and less "advertising" (I don't see the need for any of the "sponsored by" stuff... I'd have 'let them wonder' but what's done is done. Getting all tied up in a Jiffy Lube endorsement is just a little off the mark to me but if that is what it took to get the ad financed then I guess it is fine.
The ad copy is great - I really appreciate your work on that Mike - and overall organization.

KF.com donated $1000 out of the $1500 and Jiffy Lube $250. KF.com got last billing. I will never understand that and I am taking a shot at whoever came up with the first ad. Whoever it was didn't like us or was simply an idiot. Man, I have a way with words. 
Anyway, this group can get things done. I don't know what it takes to get ya'll turned on but I'd like to figure it out and use it. We are the best. We are the most intelligent. We are the most musical. We apparently have the most money or maybe it's just volume.
I will write to the Chicago Tribune and see what we can get done there. I guess that's in between my trying to find addresses to the owners but I'm a better writer than anything (except being a lover, of course). If we can get articles in New York and Chicago, well, I'm not sure how it helps us but at least it will be done.
The area needs money to make it clear to the Maloofs that they can get an arena. $500,000 is a spit in the ocean. We need the big kicker that Luckenbill can find. Pledges show spirit (anyone know the payoff percentage on a pledge?) but will build nothing.
If people don't know we have spirit, they have been asleep, drugged, or in a coma.

My original thought was to cut the banner in half but I wanted to include the entire thing.
