You can take orders-but no money can be exchanged--in DC you need a
vendor's liscense.

That would be nice. Natasha: We don't need anything to fancy, just
somthing that looks a little more official than a printed out text
file.

Although we cannot sell anything, we could still have one copy of the

Do you have a URL for that?
