jawnbc Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Actually....I <I>am</I> a torchbearer. And have already paid for mine. But it's a real torch (the one I'll be carrying; they release it to my custody as soon as I finish my run), not a smaller replica. I don't mind paying--it's a lot of money, but it's an incredible privilege at the same time. would you pay the $50 more if you were a torchbearer, jawnbc?
