Dancing and Partying in the Streets, Everywhere

Over at Jaybarkerfan's Junk.  It sounds like a lot of fun and jocularity, as Father Mulchay would say.

I am trying to get back to blogging on a regular basis, I have been moving a my stuff and it is almost done.  I am working on my Gint a Cuffs box, a couple of sets and I went to a game in Salem and got a bunch of autos.

Cheap Card Collecting is also having a contest at his place.  We will try and fit everyone in a VW Bug.

The Daily Dimwit is giving stuff away also.  After the party there we will going over to Katy Perry and Rebecca Blacks homes for some Friday fun.
