Het, I'm digging the new tunes. Makes me feel like I should be racing through the desert on a motorcyle at night, running from the law, but to nowhere in particular. Maybe also vampires are somehow involved. Either way, I like it. The spoken word stuff really seems to be working out. We'll have to come see you guys live sometime. Until then.
So many friends and what does it really mean? I am glad that you are my friends... warm, electronic, slightly fuzzy friends. Remember when we actually looked at each other in person and passed a pipe... now we post comments... Kind html man....
