Girl 2: Well, who was she?! What does she look like?
Girl 1: Well, she had dark hair, kind of dark skin...

10 Months of Eavesdroppers

Hard to believe it's been that long...but it has.
The current stats:
Total Page Views:13,113

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.
