Hey Gang,
As you may (or may not) know, Mike “The Legend” has been in Europe for the last little while and I have been a little too busy with school work to even attempt to put a show together myself.
We will be back next week, however, when Mike “The Legend” will no doubt regale us with tales of his European Vacation (not to be confused with the National Lampoon film of the same title)
