Lotsa posts today, huh? A quick note to everyone that we’ve upgraded and streamlined our store a good bit; it’s easier to get around, and looks cleaner.

Slowly Puh-owning DC Media
Some nice coverage this past week in anticipation of our show at the Birchmere tomorrow: A nice write-up in the Alexandria Times canadian pharmacy viagra .
