Come see us at Dante's (1 SW 3rd Ave) this Sunday 4/19! We open for Sinferno at 10 and appreciate the support! Plus check out of new songs posted. We've just finished mixing and are in the final stages of completing our album due out early summertime! xoxox-minerva
Gabriella has to be the cutest baby ever!! :) Thanks for the Holiday card. It's so nice to get mail that isn't a bill! :) Wishing you and your family the best in this Holiday Season! Hope I can attend a PP get together at some point! Cheers!
Thanks so much for the birthday e-card. I really hope we get to hang out more this year. Also, you don't need to worry about being PC with me. But you know that. Thanks
Yay! Thanks for having me over - after yours i went to my friend Becky's over on Hawthorne and there were people in the streets yelling and shooting off fireworks and stuff!! Pretty exciting...
Oops...We are going up tomorrow but the service is Thursday. I am just mentally not here. Have a good weekend! (I forgot your KBA comment, I don't anticipate seeing any shows in the near future-- Would have wanted to see CSS when they passed through but oh well. I need to get on the ball and get some dates set up so we actually go to a show sometime...)
We are all fine...The service is tomorrow and it was just time. :( Hope things are looking up with daycare and life in general! Ada was playing with my phone last week (first and last time) and almost called Andres on it. I don't know if that came through that "I" called, but if it did, that's why!
