    Well, my lovely & talented gf got her Fulbright grant application approved, and we're headed off to Argentina in February. I'm quite proud of her, and very pleased to be riding along on her coattails.

    We're not sure yet where we'll be, definitely not in BA, but in a good sized college town.

    Anyone spent any time down there?

    I'm having a celebratory glass (errr...bottle) right now. Definitely excited about visiting that region (Chile as well). Any country that prizes great wine & beef is pretty much my kind of place.

    RM95...yall will have to come down.

    I have minimal knowledge here. Know a couple of peeps who've been to Buenos Aires, but don't know much about anywhere else. Being that we won't know where we'll be for another month or so, all this is a bit premature.

    Swoly, you make me a shirt, I'll sport it with pride. :D

    Buck, email me your shipping address so I can order from http://www.uberprints.com/studio/. If anyone knows anywhere else that's cheaper and in town, let me know. You started it.

    What size and would you prefer sleeveless tank top, sleeveless tee, or what? It will be cold, and your n1pp13s will show, but I will try to add a ROCKETS logo on it. It's just 17 bucks for a digitally printed tee.
