That means a lot, coming from you, my friend. SOD was not even a year old when you left. It has grown and changed a lot in that time, but there is always so much more to learn! It’s great to have you back!

I’ll be honest… I would go see School of Seven Bells twice too!

What I would do to catch a Horse Feathers set….I need to live in a more southern locale….
“Fantasy” it is my friend ;-(
