gone for good?

i've been working a lot recently on the new aether everywhere site, trying to schedule a launch party, putting up a myspace page etc etc. also working on music, going to try and debut solah this summer.

so i'm taking a break from the le duo blog. will it be forever? who knows?

so thanks to everyone who visited this site in the last 2+ years. sorry i didnt have more to say.
