7 Steps To Being The Best Best Friend Ever -or- Happy Birthday, Jenna!

Today is a very special day because today is Jenna's 30th Birthday.  That means that she and I have been best friends for half of our lifetime, approximately 15 years.  I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure that makes us professional besties.  So, with about a decade and a half under our belts, I feel we are more than capable of sharing with you the secrets of a long-lasting friendship.

They tour in small venues opening for the likes of Dinosaur, Jr. - another plus. Kyle Thomas , the King Tuff, has one of those voices you either love or hate. That is at first. Once you hear the amazing talent Thomas has on a guitar, you'll get it. This kid from Vermont is the real deal.
