Site Chat Tonight!

8 PM EST. 80 minutes from now!

See you there, and bring your thinking caps, NinSage needs to spend some Club Nintendo points!

Also, notice that since I referred to myself in the third person I am now considered a TPP, as opposed to all the cliche FPPs (first-person poster) that pop up all over the blogosphere.
