While Rusty, Merin and Elise are partying and having all sorts of fun at SXSW I'll be kickin it in the office, working on making our music library prettier.  How is that for thinly veiled jealousy? 

Naw, it's cool.  The music library is an on-going project of mine.  I'm hoping to have it in beautiful working order by the end of the month.  Wish me luck! 

This is a quick shout out for Ty Eckley, who sent us a big box of beautiful jewelry this week. Every once in a while we'll get listener donations that are out of the ordinary but I can honestly say that a big heavy box full of necklaces is pretty uncommon. I love the pieces and can't wait to wear them!

This is the piece for Rusty:

That medallion is a Constantine coin circa 330 AD. 

This is my favorite piece!

Thanks Ty!

We saw some of this last year, and it was great. Cutting edge electronic music, visuals, etc. It was in a very tiny space last year, but this year expands.

"Highly Recommended" -- Rusty
