In addition, I'm trying out some comment features on the main Replicas page, as well as each drumkit page. Now you can vote for your favorite Neil Peart replica kit, and leave comments at the bottom of the page.
Thanks to all the drummers and postcard receivers for sending in their photos.
My friend has been posting new stuff to her eBay auctions. If you like Neil Peart posters, there are some good ones. Many of the auctions end Saturday, September 27.
Here's where things stand as of Friday, 6:00 p.m Pacific time.
