sillywabbitz, yes! i know what you're talking about! thanks, i'll make a mental note to stock up on those ... had completely forgotten about them.

i'll be visiting my brother in Dallas in a couple weekends, and i hope to have some time to stop by this place. let me know if there's anything else cool for me to check out there!
