Guess who's back? (10:02:10 10:08)

Written by [Seb]

So the BIG question is where the hell have I been for the past week? Honestly, I don't even know! I just remember the Saints winning the Superbowl and after that it's all a blank. I could have been partying it up in the French Quarters for all I know!

Anyways... I'm BACK. AND I got some serious business to attend to! The winners of the [Ben Allison] contest are... Carl-Etienne Faust (Facebook) and coolmcjazz (Twitter). So congrats! Again winners chosen by Random.org, so if you have some beef take it to them.

Otherwise, we'll be giving away a pair of tickets to the [Christian Scott] concert in Paris on the 16th so come back shortly for more on that!

Peace,
seb.
