    Linda,
    Thanks for the well wishes and comments on my blog! I’ve missed you and glad to be back at it again. You have done a fantastic job on the SXSW coverage. Love the blog, excellent job!

    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!

  3. Music Under Fire says:

    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 ;-(
