Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.
[I was deep in my folk era in the 90s, and don't actually own albums by any of the above-named acts]

It would be funny if one sent you to baseball discourse and the other to discussions of seafaring employment.

The funniest thing about #SPX is the surprised look on artists' faces when you tell them it's your first time at SPX (because of living in Kansas, moving basically next door) because it's such an important industry event!

I've been remiss on Good Mail Days, so here's some makeup posts.

Prints! From @hagofbolding.bsky.social of www.kendrap.com and www.fairmeadowcomic.com ! The comic is great fun, and I've been eyeing the Smaug for a *while* so when the fundraiser print came up I couldn't resist

Hope you feel better soon!
