Michael, please tell your friend Glenn Dicker he owes me a Nick Lowe lunch box. I ordered the "box set" but the lunch box was not included, even though it was included on the packing list..

medson:

Swag for life is so easy. I used to struggle with sending check.
I'd start out saying I'll mail a $200 check. Then before you know it with bills etc you end up sending 40 bucks. Which is still appreciated but that steady monthly donation is much more helpful. That is all : )
