It’s that time of year again, the time when we magically change the secret folder that makes random silly pictures appear at the top of the PDD page. We’re looking for your Homegrown photos! So follow the same guidelines for submitting photos, but send us Homegrown-related images.

I know I’ve got everyone really pumped up about the new the Moon is Down EP This Machine, and you all can’t wait to come to the show at the Main Club and be one of the lucky 100 who get a free copy. I’m getting so many requests for it now, that I decided to put ‘er up on Bandcamp early so you’s all can get a listen!
Go to themoonisdown.bandcamp.com. However, it will be expected that you learn all of the gang vocals for show participationationationing. I’ve bought stock in Depends because you’re all gonna need to put on your diaper before you experience This Machine.
