Hi Kim, thanks for the comment. I'm excited about the response the site has received and the diversity of the people joining. I'm looking forward to seeing how it will turn out. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please send me a message. Hope to meet you in person at a festival. I'll be in Hamburg and Berlin the last half of August and in Italy and Switzerland for most of October and November.
