Just read your book, Dean, fantastic...thanks for doing it, brought back memories...made me feel "old"...sweet selective memories though...you and Britta are great.
Hi Britta! Come out to see my friend Adam's band Less the Band on Sat, Dec 13 @ The Kitchen. He's also a Midwesterner like us. Am thinking of channeling Jem for New Year's Eve so perhaps you can give me some tips at the show. Hope all's well! =)
