    H.o.p.’s 2010 Pumpkins – 4 Views

    This year we have 3 pumpkins for the windows. H.o.p. designed the faces for all three, and on the 3rd one he had 3 faces but I was unable to get a decent pic of the 3rd face–not that these are decent pics, taken in a dark room, as they were, with my 3g. Photos…

  • Catastrophic Audio cover of “Happiness is a Warm Gun”
