    Hi, readers! I made a mistake when I published this post on Friday. I made the foolish decision to send it out myself, instead of letting Kelly do it, like she usually does. That meant that I accidentally sent it only to my paid subscriber list, instead of my entire subscriber list. If this writing already made its way to you, please forgive the double email, and thank you for your ongoing support. It means a lot in these challenging times. - WKBI have some really bad news for you.

Needless to say, I took this assignment very seriously. I wanted the band to have fun. I wanted the audience to have fun.
