The VOX Party / Life Update

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Last night was the opening night for the VOX party. It went really well. Better than we even hoped I think.

You can see more about the night over […]

We’re there (just about)

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

Well bar a few bells and whistles, we’re pretty much there with the dining room. It’s taken much longer than we thought, but we’ve made it. We have put up a temporary dining table and chairs…really want our new set to arrive now!
