Shia-Shia,
I saw some of the pictures from the 4/8 & 4/9 show on Amanda Johnston's site, and I'm so proud of y'all. I wish I could have come down to support. I was performing here in NY at Nuyorican with girlstory, so I guess we were acting as kindred spirits. I hope I see you soon, girl. Call whenever. I mean that.
