Further "insight" from our "leaker":

i am 15 years old
 
 joe hurwitz is in my band
 
 and i frequent the hurwitz household
I kinda hope this is true. The mental image of Seth strangling his kid's bandmate is pretty LOL. Isn't the point of anonymous internet posts to NOT give away enough info that people can figure out who you are?

 appreciate it
Not sure if they're intelligent but comments they are for sure:
 
 1) A Sept or Oct date - when it's *SUPPOSE* to be cooler.
 2) Continued greening efforts like last year (loved the composting)
 3) One date instead of two
 4) Book Public Enemy, Tom Waits and The Postal Service

There is a University of Baltimore which is part of the University System of Maryland. There is also the University of Maryland Baltimore County. UMCP is the flagship campus of USM. Officially, when one refers to the "University of Maryland" without specifying a location it is to the College Park campus.

 Oh, the topic. Uh, yeah, no earlier than mid-September and one day only.

Did anyone watch the Seven Ages of Rock documentary?
 
 Is it just me, or did Michael Stipe come across as the world's most pretentious douchebag?
