Awesome builds.  You used to yell at me for cooking ramen noodles in my room next to yours.  And we managed to stay out of jail a few times.

Michael,
I'm glad the show was all you hoped it would be. I would LOVE to see pAt play the Lowebow, but PH headed in the opposite direction. Maybe they'll hit CA this summer.

Hi Michael,
I have not seen PH, but I'm playing the hell out of the CD. I'd like to hear about the show, so let me know how it is. Have fun!

Hi Michael,

I admire your work (well, not so much the bedpan) but I have to tell you, the pig's mask creeps me out. Those who know you speak highly of you -- and your work speaks for itself. Thanks for adding me.

Welcome aboard, Michael! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBU, CBB, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc. -- I see you are ahead of me here).

Most of all, have fun!


Tres.
