Eric's Trip

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, put the blame on those English essays. For those who need their Singing Lamb dose each day, I suggest you check out the Twitter page! It’s mostly mindless ramblings of boredom but every so often, I throw news items up there! Also, I suggest you trek back to read my Juno-live feed – good times were had; and by good I mean drunken and miserable times. If you enjoyed my Juno-tweeting and felt bad for me, you can just make it up to me with a beer the next time you see me at a show. Thanks in advance!
