"I've been a fan of yours for years now, and really
really appreciate your work! Heck yes, of course you can quote me.
If there
is ANYTHING I can ever do for
you, just say the word. I'll go on to say that your music calendar is
one of
the most thorough and best organized event calendars I've found
anywhere.
Your commitment to the
music scene in Charlotte is inspiring, and I've learned about a lot
of events
I wouldn't otherwise be aware of because you have both listings AND
links
I can check out right away."
