Hello again!

I hope you'll get over the cold soon. I had one, too last week. Annoyed the heck out of me.
I am currently browsing myspace and try to find people I know or met from the artist world, that's how I came across you. :)

Just in case anyone is interested, I stopped html on my page because I was tired of the people who would just post big ass banners and posters promoting a DJ gig, or Club night telling people to come check out their page neglecting to even acknowledge someone (myself) runs this myspace page lol. I'll probably allow html again at some point but I just had to see the difference in people using my page as promotion compared to people interested in my work, or just wanting to chat.
