Dude, I’m in! Heheh. By the way,
I found a pretty high quality copy of Serenity if you want it. I’ll just burn a copy cause it’s like a 4 gig .img file so it should play in a DVD player. I’ll bring it to SoCal if you want one.Should hold you over till it gets released on DVD, eh? Later!Mark
EDITED: for stupidity. 🙂
See, you don’t live in The Woodlands. If you did, your Halloween would be entirely different, trust me. Highest housing density on the Mountain + kids in every house = scads of costumed ankle-biters. We got cleaned out our first year there.
