Well, the title of the post should have been "My baby says she's trav'ling on the one after 909", but other than that, this is GREAT NEWS. Can't wait. I've got a few months to save up the $250 I need....

I have moments of lucidity. They're increasingly rare.

Is your lucidity silent? Because if it is, that'd be cool.

Because of the song.

You know, that song.

Remember that song?

Metal band pretending to be Floyd.

Queensryche. Sweet.
