Cold, Jason, Cold. And to think I just bought your book.
This posted on the FUN website. Still planning on the show but no public information on how the issues will be dealt with. This morning, my...
I get it. Thanks. And no, I wouldn't pay extra just in order to have a matching set of holders. OTOH, I have a friend who has made a collection...
