How Much for that Hobo in the Window?
Notice the new banner? Notice the new likeness of your favorite hobo? Said portrait was drawn by the extremely talented Adam Koford, aka "Ape Lad" of the famous "700 Hoboes Project".

I second that people should read "The Areas of My Expertise". Better yet, listen to the audio format of the book. The Palinode and I have been listening to it, and he reads out all the hobo names. Love it.
