ah, kevin beat me to the punch on the review which
wouldn't have been as thorough if i had written it at
3am when i was still awake last night.
I think that was a good crowd for a thurs at mojo.
I've been there before on a thurs night with much less
people.
despite that, donna sue and I did sell some stuff and
were able to have people visit us upstairs at the
merch table. for anyone BUYING merch, you can get
your pick of candy from the pumpkin!!
anyone venturing out this weekend to IPO baltimore,
should make sure to visit us!
