Admission 10$ (discounts available for kids, the indigent, and the woeful) This money goes (partly) to keeping the Orange Juice Blog going. Thank you! See you there!!!
Hallelujah, particularly with your arrangement, is worth coming to the OC a day early! I may have to get us a hotel room for the night so I can lick your ass for hours!
