Only This time?
by Monda on Mon Mar 15, 2010 09:39 AM PDTYou guys should have your own comedy show out there. Princess jan It only takes 2 credit cards and some breaks from work for emailing, phone calls and such. Plus you'll have JJ's good vibes on your side.
Since you'd probably see JJ sooner than I will again, please do ask him for some clips here :o)
Missed out
