Blurb in Milwaukee Journal

okay, i know this isn’t very important, but in case anybody cares, the
femmes are mentioned in today’s (1-12) Milwaukee Journal on page 5 in the
article about the attractions of Super Bowl weekend in San Diego, and
their appearance at Super Bowl Fest.

The current bid on Mike’s collection is US$150.
I’ve had a couple of new subscribers from far off places, and so for the
hell of it, I decided to see how many of us are not from the US. I did
this last in August, but there have been some changes. This information
is not exact, as I went mostly by the two letter endings (i.e. .uk, .se),
and a few by other means, such as the Here I Am list.
So if you’re interested, here ’tis:
Australia 31
Canada 10
UK 8
Germany 5
Portugal 5
Norway 4
Sweden 4
Belgium 2
South Africa 2
New Zealand 2
