First off, what you are witnessing is the resurrection of SUGARTOWN. Yes, this is happening! After about two years of inactivity, I am back. Let's hope I don't become bored with myself too soon. Encouraging messages welcome.
It seems fitting that the first thing I should get to gush about is the HOLY SHIT AM I DREAMING EVENT happening in April: Chickfactor is having a 20th Birthday Party! They're putting on two sets of shows. One will be at The Bell House in Brooklyn on April 10, 11 & 12 & the other will be on April 6 & 7 Artisphere in D.C. (Arlington)!! I got my tickets to the Brooklyn shows & now I just have to wait 3 WHOLE MONTHS for it....
So who am I most excited about seeing?
Black Tambourine
Small Factory
Sadly, I don't have any Small Factory anymore. I love the album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" & the songs "I'm Not Giving Up" & "Valentine" are just...so so good.
Lois
01 Davey Oh this one is a gem!
Aislers Set
01 Friends Of The Heroes Just lovely.
Pipas
The Legendary Jim Ruiz Group
So pretty much all of the first two nights! I can't make the third night so I'm not even going to entertain the thought of who I'm missing (it will be good too...dammit). This is a do-not-miss, once-in-a-lifetime event so get your tickets before it sells out! Who knows when these people will be lured out to play for us again?
For further reading, here's a handy Guide to the Chickfactor Party Line Up in Brooklyn. Maybe I'll see you there! I'll be the girl with the glasses weeping tears of joy off to the side, nerdishly singing all the words along with everyone else.
So happy to see that you've begun posting on Sugartown again! Your blog exposed me to so many wonderful songs when I was in high school and I can't wait to see what else you have to share. :) Keep on keepin' on!

Colleen! This is great news for a Saturday morning... Sorry I was a bit slow at noticing you're resurrection. But hey,,, it's mid-February now: You haven't gotten bored already, have you?
from Germany with love,
JJ

Words cannot express how giddy I am that a) you're back, and b) I never removed your blog from my Google Reader so that I could discover that you're back!
