Oh My People Are Voting For Me! Quick Let's Meet at the Blog!

Some brief messages. First a thank you to my mom for spreading the vote around, and another thank you to everybody who has been voting for soul rep for the Irma P Hall black theater awards.

I'd also like to thank them for taking a chance on me and letting me work and learn how to be a sound designer.

(oh and me... but mostly Soul Rep.)
