I’m reminded of the old board game called Careers: at the beginning of the game, you choose your recipe for success, as a function of happiness, wealth, and fame. I never used to think fame was all that important, but I’m starting to see how it has potential: it provides a connection between a creative source (you, me, anyone else who has value to bring to others) and potential audiences (who, if we’re lucky, decide to share wealth in exchange for our shared happiness).

It sounds like a good cause too, especially since the band’s music is interesting and quite lovely (I found ‘em on myspace, a place I rarely dare go unless it’s for previewing bands).

Anyways, congrats again– and hey, you should ask if you get a free CD out of the deal at least!
