Sponsors Are Yay and an Update

First of all, thanks to this week’s sponsor: Edica, who are currently stocking tops that fuse rocker slashes with cyber neon.

And, Friday morning we are embarking on a road trip to our new home, Williamsburg! We are aiming to get at least one review posted a day but it might be slow due to intermittent internet access and sheer exhaustion (which accounts for other recent slowness. Apartment-hunting in Brooklyn and then coming home to pack an entire household really sucks the wind out of one’s descriptive sails.) We’ll be back full speed for sure after July 4 – and so will Psyche Noir.
