Hello, Bay-area (retro)blog readers. According to my web stats there’s a whole bunch of you. I would like you to email me because I have to ask you something. I’ll give you a hint. It has to do with an event. Thank you.
And if any of you Los Angelenos are feeling neglected, please take note of the event I have scheduled in your neck o’ the proverbial woods on April 30th. And while I’m promoting events, readers in Arizona, New Jersey, Manhattan, and Connecticut should take a look at my events page too.
