As the Captain would say, "the past sure is tense". Speaking of the Captain, will Donald Lobsinger be there to interfere with the proceedings? | ||

Thanks for the looksee of some of the displays. I'll probably run by there next weekend for John Sinclair's rap and poetry. They've assembled an excellent cast of speakers to flesh out that era in the Detroit area. |
