No one in the current presidential administration, that's for sure. Possibly the Marquis de Sade, or maybe Martin Luther... Don Knotts is more like it.
na-uh!!! andrew found your flickr page. you freaking rule! thank you thank you thank you for taking part in the jamz and hopefully see you at the art show that coincides with the container project this thursday at anonymous gallery. yay!
Dan and I are moving to Philly on September first! We already have a place! Now an NYC visit will be a piece of cake and you can bring the pumpkins to learn about Ben Franklin!
Bob, I'm enjoying tomorrowland.org. Tonight was my first visit so I have a lot more to see. Dan and I were bummed we didn't get to talk more on this trip so we'll have to fix that next time. Thanks for having us over. I love your fams. Talk to you soon!
Bob... you are too cool a person to NOT have people post shit about you.. We should get together soon.. I keep finding more bands you should hear and I wanna hear your latest tunes.
