sad news
I just found out that Ben Shaafsma passed away. All the amazingly fun shows I played at the DAAC, in Grand Rapids, were his doing. Such an important person in the art and music community. He is loved and missed immensely.

I'm involved with the DAAC but unfortunately didn't get involved until after Ben had moved to chicago.
I'm still incredibly bummed out, he did so much for us.
there's a nice memorial page up on g-rad.org for the next few days.

oh, i'm very sorry, I misunderstood.
I thought that the picture wasn't related to the text. didn't make the connection, it's a bit silly. i'm a francophone, and i guess i read too fast, didn't connect the picture to the text. I thought you wer ein Montreal, because the picture was taken in Montreal :

sorry to hear about that kimya.
i just lost my grandma quite suddenly saturday morning.
it's never easy saying goodbye.

but i think you should know that lullaby for the taken makes me think of her and smile, and cry too.
she was 86 years old, which is such a coincidence.
and she loved to sing. :)
