(With an homage to one of the most addictive 80s UK New Wave synth pop songs… and, by the way, Dead or Alive, is still very much alive…) Circles. In my younger, headier teenage days, my dad would talk about how “everything came back” after a certain amount of time.

Awesomeness
And then it was over. More than twelve weeks, countless IMs, text messages, tweets, blog posts, direct messages, e-mails, phone calls, volunteers, supplies, bus trips, plane trips, Kinko’s runs, first winds, second winds, and third winds (I can’t tell you how much work went in after midnight) led up to the inaugural SM4SC fundraiser in… Continue reading Awesomeness
