[Nyarlathotep] [Fwd: The City Beneath the Sand]

[Jens Adler Nielsen]

Damn! I cannot make it. I have a buyer for much of my stuff and he can only
buy it this Thursday night.

Btw any of you guys interested borderline free stuff? I have a car (not
road worthy), a good fridge, a good desk, and a so-so dinning table left.

Cheers,
/Jens
