CCK: Church of Latter Day Rockers!



Props to Corey Lim for supplying me with this week's title.

The second part of this title should be:

'Officiated by the Most Reverend Colin'...

...and Jay Z.

I just learned how to make these cool slide shows!! Props to new CCK member, Shawn - for showing me that this is possible! Hope you all like it!












Join us this coming Sunday, when everytime the Reverend Colin says "That's Alright!", we drink! Cheers!
