Hey Baxter, thanks much, appreciate it. This piece on the Indian rock scene was just put up - http://matadornights.com/up-and-coming-indian-rock-scene-offers-punch-and-variety/

Some more is coming up, will link you to it when it's out. What's going on with you?

In response to your question...the very first thing I ever heard about Oman was that you can get a ticket if you have a dirty car. I thought, I would like to see this country where it's illegal to be dirty. Next, I read that the people of Oman are really super friendly. And I thought, I would like to visit this land of the super friendly people. So there you have it - extraordinary cleanliness and friendliness.

Hey I just realized that you sent me a message a while ago. My next adventure is an around the world trip. I will be starting out by flying from Seattle to NYC & onto Italy. Europe is on the books for about 2 or 3 months then down the Eastern African coast. After I make it to South Africa I plan on catching a flight up into India. I'll be exploring Asia, mostly S.E. Asia then it's off to Australia/N.Z. The last part of my trip will consist of venturing up the west coast of S. America & back into the U.S. I have no idea how long I'll be gone & I love that. I can't wait!!! It's the ultimate adventure.

hey baxter,
