The Missing Portrait ???

Now I found this friends request "Interesting" and thought I would share it with you ;)

The Missing Portrait has a "Surprise" coming and they want YOU to leave comments as to what you think the "Surprise" might be? Interesting thing is they have a music player on their site and the daunting question "Guess What It Could Be" which leaves it wide open :) I am sure most of us are assuming a cd, but place a comment and let them know :)

http://www.myspace.com/themissingportrait

Maybe they will change their myspace or start a website, in the meantime, enjoy their music and take a guess :)
