1/8/07

Since the school term is out, I am in Texas enjoying myself essentially. The first three shows of 2007 will be conducted by other WMBR magicians.

This first show was conceived by Rebecca, proprietor of "Hook, Heavy" which traditionally airs right after "Running, Returning." She'll also be covering next week.
