A little “coming soon” update… The “Super Bowl visitors visit NWI” is almost ready (Christ…Wednesday later in the night). Also…a Q & A with Liffey.

Michelle’s character in this gritty flick drives, drinks and sexes. And what more is there, really? I haven’t seen an actress look that good in a wife-beater since Sarah Michelle Gellar in “Buffy.”…
