The Penguin Society has been around for quite some time. We just didn't figure it out until now. The both of us used to be together in a band called United. We had fun. Then we quit. And didn't play at all. Not a great time. So here we are, just the two of us. Doing everything by ourselves. Which is why we always keep the door open for contributions from others. Perhaps from you? Let us know right now.
