I think I'm an author now! Lets see what happens.

Also, I love Nenah Cherry. They used to play that song -- and other great 80's dance music -- at the Artful Dodger on Saturday nights. Anyone remember that bar in Wicker Park/Bucktown? I looooooved that place.

Sweetness

How about Friday April 15th? I think if at least three of you can come I'll just have the rest send me a cd. Do you ever get a song in your head from childhood? I did this morning...
