I feel sick to my stomach.  While breaking down the area tonight, someone stole the bag containing the Camera, Computer, Email Lists, and with it any chance of contacting those of you who took pictures with 3Oh!3, The Devil Wears Prada, or Mayday Parade.  Believe me, I am very sorry.  I wish I could say we lived in a world where someone wouldn't do something like this, especially to the nonprofit area, but sadly I can't.  More important than the camera or the computer was the photos, and the memories.  I am sorry, and I will make it up to you somehow Pittsburgh.  yours,
