April 26th, 2005 · Comments Off

Forgot to mention that I’ve reduced the price of the Reign of Frogs CD, A Case Of Mistaken Serenity, from $8 to $5. Hey, that barely covers the cost of shipping the thing! So, if you don’t have a copy, there’s no reason not to order one. That’s cheaper than even the [...]
