We would like to thank DJ Joey at Raleigh Underground/Legends for hosting our first live performance! He took such great care of us. We really appreciated all of the messages from our friends and family wishing us luck on our first show. Special thanks to Sensei John Burns at Rohai Dojo for spreading the word about our first show. I was surprised and happy to meet Elizabeth and Erin from Wolfpak Dojo. I felt the Cuong Nhu Spirit! Shawn and I had such a great time that we forgot to be nervous.

It was great to see Hungry Lucy play live again. It had been a couple of years since we saw them play live the last time in Portland, OR. They were awesome as usual. War-N's feverish bongo playing was quite mesmerizing! Christa's beautiful voice captured everyone in the audience including me. I couldn't stop dancing! I'll remember to bring my digital camera next time to take some shots of them.

Talk to you soon,
