TOD
Having been on Home Theater Forum for a while and finally putting two and two together as to who BK was (duh!), and then having looked at this site, I finally made my way here and I felt at home from my first day. For a while, though, I just lurked and followed along - probably for a couple of months - prior to deciding to officially come aboard. But from my first post I was made to feel truly and completely welcomed.
Then after I'd been settled in here for a few months, BK came to NYC for the launch of "Album Produced By...", and I went down to Drama Book Shop for that. (Which, oddly enough, was also my first time in the store.) I even canceled a small musical gig -- something I virtually never do -- to free up the day, because I wasn't going to let anything stand in the way of meeting y'all.
From the moment I walked into the store and said hi to BK and Ben and Elmore and FJL, and finally everyone else who showed up, I knew that being here was the best thing I'd accomplished in a while. That afternoon, and the evening at Joe Allen, was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding days ever.
