April 1st is a big holiday in the former Soviet Union, and it's a lot like "April Fool's Day" here except that it's accompanied by an actual celebrated holiday.So there's a big party in Odessa, where my wife's side of the family is from. It should start here around midnight CST, which is 8:00am there. The crowd that gathers will be partially shown on this website.
Check it out to see all their fun!

Privet Odessa!
P.S. To Alex - Get us all some prices for those Svetlana 300B's and 2A3's as soon as possible. I think some forum members might be interested. If you don't post this information soon, I will put the picture of you eating hot dogs on this page and you will be very embarrassed. Lublu, tvoi brat.
