10 Months of Eavesdroppers
Total Uniques: 7,290
Keep coming and tell your friends!
Now, for another thing. Since we're getting bigger and have been here for nearly a year we've started talking about Eavesdroppers merchandise. The top two ideas were a book and t-shirts. Both would cost around $15-20. However, we don't know how many people would actually buy them. You have to have a certain amount to know the price. So...if you would consider buying one or the other, leave a comment on this post or email us (with subject "Eavesdroppers") so we'll know how everyone feels about it.
