See you there.

05/10/2006posted by John Observe! A whole new website for your enjoyment, which I made with my bare hands (and notepad). I hope y'all like it. Thanks to Susan and also my flatmate for.. uh.. aesthetic input? More stuff to be done, but this is the new basic layout.

Any comments are welcome, you have my email
