Odds and ends

I’m moving this site to a new hosting service, so if the site is down for a couple days, don’t be alarmed. Thor, who has graciously hosted this domain for me for awhile now, is no longer able to do so. I would like to thank him for all the help he has given me [...]

Ministry, Revolting Cocks – 7/1/06

After taking the L train to the show to avoid traffic and hefty parking fees, we got to the club right [...]
