SUZY STUMP: SOUTH SOUND ABOUNDS >>>

There’s that thing you told yourself you were going to investigate or learn about or take a class to study further, and yet you’ve never really gotten around to it.  Oh sure, you bought that book two years ago and had a fascinating conversation with that guy who is sort of already doing the thing you would love to learn about, but that was last year, and you were a bit drunk and so was he.  So here you are just looking at your shoes going, “Hmm, another year and I still don’t know squat about orchid gardening/Taoist philosophy/chakra bingo.”

Now 2009 is looking you right square in the Old Navy T-shirt and saying, “All right then, so what have we here? Are you ready to make the best of me and take me out and ply me with wine and soft and gentle yet commanding words, or shall I just shrug and sigh and watch you wither and whimper and say hey maybe next year for sure?”  Or simply hie thee to the Weekly Volcano’s Music Calendar, honeychile, scan Wednesday’s listings and then party away your paltry ideals.
