All of your emails are making me smile, smile, smile till I think I better stop reading them at work because there is usually not much to smile about while processing people's divorce papers. But it is so good to see some activity on this list again. Reminds me of meetups in Chicago and Ken Chu's autograph and baking a banana bread for the band and getting to sing harmonies. I have often thought about writing and never did. Last summer when I saw Our Band live in Austin for the first time in 10+ years, finding happily that I could still feel all those feelings I felt when I was Young and not at an age that seemed mythical when I first found B&S. When I was embroidering a back patch for my Twee Battle Vest with the B&S fox t-shirt, certainly. And then again when the new album came out -- I waited all day, stubbornly avoiding that it was all already up on Spotify, so I could go to the record store, buy my copy, and listen to it with my full attention in my room at night. I guess this is all to say I am glad that y'all are still here, because I don't have too many friends in the Real World who have this set of feelings. Thanks to Honey for giving us a kick in the pants.
