It covers a lot of ground including the defunct Big Stinkin' and the development of the AIC. Features quotes from Jeremy Sweetlamb, Shana Merlin, Andy Crouch and more.

And Jeremy, thanks for the plug.

Anyone know where those slideshow pictures came from? I'd love to get soe more of the old Hideout. I'm guessing Statesman archives?

The very last one of Shana and Sean was taken/contributed by me. (I sent Roy some of the ones I have recently.) The other ones of young-and-skinny Sean are credited to a Statesman photog.

looking at these old photos has convinced me of one thing: Shana Merlin is immortal and will outlive us all. :P

It's called Airstream, and is one of only a handful of fonts available on roflbot.com ... the lazy man's way to caption photos.

I was wondering that when I saw the picture -- is it a frozen Lake Michigan?
