Thanks! I think our family has German ancestry, but we've been in the U.S. so long, I don't know much about it. Mostly farmers in Kansas and Oklahoma. I come from tough German/American farm stock.
Hey Redbendad, I just bought you as my PET! Click here to find out how much I think you're $$WORTH$$!
OK, so this pet thing is silly. Super silly. But it's fun too. And weird. And not spam, I promise. Well, kinda annoying. Anyhow, you can always trust the ♥ Z, since that's my signature.
Feel free to delete this comment if you're not amused with my merriment! :)
So this is it: your official (albeit not icredibly personal, and for that i apologize) reminder: "Reminder of what?" you say? Well I'm glad you asked:

ALL AGES!
I sort of told the promoter we could get 300 people there. And I know there's never anything to do that weekend after Christmas, right? it's ALL AGES, so that includes children (bring earplugs) grandparents (bring... ditto) and.. i dunno... all your myspace/facebook "friends" you've been meaning to hang out with "IRL"? (bring pepper spray?)
I promise to not be terrible. Nay, I promise to even be pretty good. And if I let you down, I promise to make it up to you.
(No, i haven't decided how yet, but I'm thinking something along the lines of free karate lesssons, chocolate milk, or having your back in an argument someday.)
I'm doing my own PR. So today I'll be glued to the puter asking all my friends to help me chart in the Irish charts by downloading "2Worlds" for 99cent this week....before next friday!.....A small but necessary step to bringing the music to the World!
As a prezzie in return, I'm giving a free download of "Dark Love" on my Space!
