Hi from San Diego! Poster Children is one our “courtship bands”. My husband and I saw you guys first in Iowa City and environs in the late 80’s early 90’s. We also enjoy listening to Radio Zero on occasion and sometimes think we should try something like that, but then we quickly nix the idea. Who knows where the microphone is? Not me…
We have two little girls now (ages 4 and 3) and I would LOVE to read more about your life as a mom. Like you, I love great rock and roll, studied martial arts (kung fu, but only up to my blue belt), and know a little something about web development (very little). So I’d like to hear your perspective on adjusting to and embracing family life and how you manage to balance that with your other interests. I’m sure it’s bound to be enlightening!
Take care and all my best,
Melissa
