MOLE MAIL

Howdy Ralph friend,
Just a note that all preorders for The Residents' Deluxe MoleShow DVD/Radio Special
CD package have been shipped, and there are still just a few of these fine
packages left. Now that they are shipping, they will go quickly.

We are aware that this particular package doesn't fit everyone's budget,
so stay tuned for some more interesting, but budget priced items that will
be coming up very soon. You will be quite happy with what we have planned
here at the new, "Old Ralph".

Thanks and see you soon at the Old Ralph webparlor,
