Hello folks!  We're kind of excited and nervous to be returning home for a
couple of weeks.  Well, Rob's excited, I'm nervous.  I've always kind of
been nervous about returning home after trips for some reason.  Kind of like
dying then coming back to see that it's all still there.  If that makes any
sense.  I think Rob thinks this is weird.  So -- I release you from this
rambling, and announce a couple of things we're doing while home:

4/17:  BB with Pink Flag, the Ex-Monkeys, and Tender Fruit.  Awesome!!
AND....Mecca Normal will be stopping by (around 5:30 I think) to present
their event "How Art and Music Can Change the World."  It's free...some
check it out.  Here is the event site:

4/18:  The 3rd annual Duo-Fest!   Here is the press release you might have
seen -- and feel free to join up on the Facebook site here:
