Whuts good Tiger Lily? I've been traveling SE Asia the past 2 months, and after properly adjusting my monacle and top hat...hmmm..yes..I believe I shall buy the region. I'll be back at the end of June. I'm just waiting to hear back from Calvin Klein about your fountain photoshoot. You always have a place to crash in Minneapolis. I'll get at you when I'm back in the land of fast food and materialism. Holla Front... -Jus
