BACK FROM VACAY…
by C-Town on August 11th, 2008
I’m back from my vacation, and it’s time to get things back cracking again. As I’m sure you all know, Shareonall was shut down. That puts a major monkey wrench in the game, because I’m going to have to replace all the links. Since I don’t upload anything myself, I have to rely on Racer XXX, and anyone else who wants to contribute links. It’s goingto take some time, but I trust you all will be patient. If there is something you need right away, shoot an e-mail to c-town@turbocity.net, and I will forward it to Racer XXX. I happy to announce 2 new members to the Baroness Team, which I will unveil later this week, and a new contributor who will be doing music reviews, Dr. Prodigy. Thanks for your continued support of The City. Oh, and Revenge of the Top Notch of the Week, will hit this Friday.
