keep em comimg

Hey,

I'll have a look at Alice's Restaurant. I was making a movie list and had decided to leave that one off, so good to know I should put it back on.

I've already began picking Sharkey's brain, and he suggested I post on the forums to see if anyone else was interested in sharing stories or memories with m...
