My folks arrived in Austin yesterday and will be coming down to San Antonio this morning with my wife. I'm very excited since I've taken the day off from work and I have no clients tomorrow, so I get to work with my dad on various projects around the house. We've got a few things that need fixing and installed. He's very handy. Me, not so much. ( Read more... )

War had erupted on the continent. At the center of it were the followers of the Three Betrayers, the cultists themselves.

I've been working on this station for some time, and I'm pretty happy with it. It all began because I remembered how when I was a kid in the 80s, we could hear LL Cool J's "Momma Gonna Knock You Out" and Poison's "Don't Need Nuthin' But A Good Time" on the same radio station, and I missed that kind of drastic variety in my music.

War had erupted on the continent. Long time enemies of the Phoenix Kingdom, the Istaheeran had been funneling resources, weapons, and money to the Cultists so they would attack and weaken the Phoenix Kingdom and their allies.
