November 07, 2008
For our regular readers, or those of you just joining us, we’re coming up on our one year anniversary: December 7, 2007, a date which will live in famy (get it? Anyone? Anyone?) (Crickets). We’re thinking of maybe having some huge Happy Hour next month, which details will follow if we end up doing anything.

If you’re new here, use the search box at the right to look for most any topic in Richmond; it’s probably been covered.
