Hey LaPorters,
We're off for a few days so we could've squeezed in a visit to the Swing Station but alas, we are on the west coast of Canada, and you are many mountains away. Soon...

can't wait to be inside you in a few weeks. oh yeah, it'll be gentle and loving, but it will still rock your world. Yay! I'm talking about our band playing inside your venue. It's funny because people may think of this as sexual innuendo.
But it really isn't! That's a gas!
