I just want you all to know that I appreciate that you read and look forward to the Weekend Roundup every week. I’m no Oprah but if I had the means to take you all on a trip to Australia I’d do it!
Hell, I wish I could take you all out to Lafayette Coney Island let alone all the way around the world. I do, however, have plans to do something special for you. Stay tuned!
The 2009 Funky Ferndale Art Fair.
