ven I'm impressed with the new homepage of my own website. That's probably because I have nothing to do with it. The design owes to a dear friend whose name begins with an L and ends with a Y, and the photo is by a supertalented photographer named Allison V. Smith, who was kind enough to take a photo of me that I actually like.

I have five days before leaving for NYC, so expect nervous-feelings updates to come. And if you live in Dallas, join us for HEPOLOOZA this Saturday at the Barley House. At Hepolooza, everyone's a winner!
