Last Updated on March 8, 2024 6:36 pm by Jeffrey Powers
On Thursday, I tweeked my back. Ever since, I have been recouping from the event. While my back is still not 100%, it is a lot better than yesterday. Of course, it needs to be – as the band starts their summer tour this Saturday. I also talk about my official role at BlogWorld & New Media Expo, and where to see the video.
