Some of you may already know that Jenna's Benicio
Shrine is changing servers. And I just wanted to update you
and those who do not know on our progress. First
off we have our new address at www.BenicioShrine.com.
Our home page is set up with a temporary pic
and a sneak preview of the new design. Please note that the
picture will change. The site will be faster, have
more photos, sound, have no pop-ups or Banners,
and simply be better! So do not be surprised if in a
few weeks or a month you come to this address and it
directs you elsewhere. It just means that you have arrived
to a bigger better Fan Club for Benicio Del Toro!!!=)
