The Stargates are starting up their next seasons starting July 14. According to scifi.com, there's some Stargate special at 7PM, with the shows starting at 8PM. I plan on having people over, like last year. Will post more details later this week. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wilc0076:35783 2006-06-16T17:33:13Z 2006-06-16T17:33:13Z Anyone ordering something from <a href="http://www.play-asia.com/">http://www.play-asia.com/</a> sometime soon?
