Ahoy there matey. There's a new Outlaws mix CD out, you could hunt down a copy in the real world, in shops and stuff, but let's face it, you'll probably download it from the internet anyway! So to save you the trouble of Googling it, here's a picture of the cover and a link to it:
Hello gorgeous hows the other side of the Continent? Hopefully it's not as hot in NY, California is horribly hot even at night, so I can't sleep. Well Just thought I'd say Hi and see how you are.
Happy Opening Night. Hope you broke both legs. Was in Akynos' show tonight but I was there in spirit and glad to hear my legacy was alive. (Careful, easy to dribble on the legacy.) Be there tomorrow.
How fantastic are you?!!!!! Seriously, you ROCK, and so much so that someone ran off with your clothing! Thank you for making the 2 year anniversary absolute HEAVEN!
