I’m going to get sentimental for a minute. Thomas Stevenson and I met close to a decade ago. When Andrea and I met, he was there. When we were thinking of relaunching TLB, he was one of the first people I emailed.

Thomas is a great storyteller with impeccable taste in music: very opinionated. Don’t believe me? Go dance with him in Brooklyn this weekend or talk to him around a campfire later this year. It will be worth your time.
