Yes, we have a new forum here at the SDMB, for artistic types. I hope you all have fun with it. And I also hope you join me in welcoming Ukulele Ike to our staff. I expect the requisite description of his politics and fetishes to appear in the Pit any second now. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---
