Re: VoL short review...
Dude, you were there and I totally forgot to write and
tell you that I was going! I was in the second full
row of people in the middle. I had a big denim skirt
on and a pick shirt straight from the '70's. I am
going tonight too. I won't be able to check my mail
though before I go, so you will have to look for me.
I will be wearing a paisley type brown shirt with bell
sleeves and green corduroys. See ya there! I am
stoked!
