Well, friends of Terrapin Station, I'm sure you've noticed that the doors have been closed for a while. The building is awaiting some much-needed repairs and new occupants. I am in limbo as to where to dispense of my many 1000s of books, several musical instruments, and various other items. So for now I will be posting pictures of them on this page. Bee looking for them and other information here on the Terrapin Station page. Peace! Out!

This just in from our friends in Olney!!! Kumquat Mae writes;
"Hey Julie, wanted to let you know we will be playing a benefit for a co-worker of mine at the Olney VFW on Friday the 31st. There will be a soup bar, silent auction and live music. If interested, please help spread the word over in your neck of the woods. We would love to see all your smiling faces again! And it's a great cause! thanks, Chad,"
