Thanks to everybody who commented on my last blog post! I really appreciate you sharing your playlists with everyone and introducing us to some great new music!

As I was responding to your comments, something hit me. You guys have shown us an incredible ammount of support over the last few years. Youve called your local DJs to request our music. Youve come to our shows and purchased our CDs. And your votes have caused us to win more contests and get onto more playlists than I could count. Each of you has helped make what we do possible.

Last week was really cool because we had twenty people contribute to our post! But, our anlaytics show that hundreds of people read it. Why is that? Im not sure. But I feel that it is  at least in some part  due to the fact that so often the creation and delivery of art is a one way street. I want to change that; so Id like to invite you to take a moment to do three things:

1. Visit atris.wordpress.com (This will be more fun if everyone goes to the same page.)
2. Scroll down to the comment box and introduce yourself. Write a few words about anything youd like. How did you first hear our music? What city are you from? What are your favorite movies? Pretend we just met at a coffee shop. If youd like share your blog address, Twitter ID or someplace where we and other people can learn more about you that would be great too!
3. Check the box that says Notify me of follow-up comments via email.

Please dont do this for us, do this for yourself and for everyone. It takes a certain amount of bravery to put yourself out there; but its worth it. We love to get to know people with similar interests, ideas, and opinions. And its really cool when group discussions are started. If you have something in common with someone who posts, let him or her know! It makes me feel great to see people responding to my comments, and I love to chime back in to share my thoughts.

Looking forward to meeting you!
