Goodbye, audio cassettes

I’m up in (bl)La Vista for a conference, and went to nightcap my workshop with a visit to Ben over at Jake’s. I’m certainly not used to driving on the interstate to hang out with friends. It’s all worth it for this one, though, and boz stopped in before the night was through. xo, ben.
