tonight makes love to all your kind

tomorrow’s pickin’ valentines…



So most of you know by now that I’m involved with a really fantastic organization called Band Together who does an annual [awesome] music event. This year’s event is May 22, and on Monday we’re announcing who the artist will be this year. So those of you who pick and choose days to read this – make Monday one of them.
