Thing are starting to liven up here at the N.C. Music Factory — I should know. I remember when I used to NOT have any problems finding parking here when coming to work in the morning. (If you didn't know the CL offices were at the Factory, well, now you do!)
Tomorrow, Fridays at the Factory kicks off, which promises to be a tropical welcome to the end of the week. Because the first thing you'll notice when you get here is the intense smell of trees ... you can't get much more tropical than that.
Hope to see you out there!
