Thank You very much, and Crongrats on maintaining this very informative fan site for two years! an absolutly amazing acheivement during a time with little new news. And thanks, also to the fans who have participated on the forum, sharing news, reviews, setlists, and personal fan experiences, because the fan participation is a huge part of the site's success, along with the website skills of the site's creaters, Jakob and Jim. Without the fan participation, It would have been very difficult, I think, to have evolved and updated a fansite with new material, when the band is no longer the MTV and media darlings of the early 90s.

I think it's a testament to our devotion as fans, that the best Soul Asylum (fansite OR official band site) ever to exist is this one right here, and it's more active now (in a fairly quiet time in the band's history) than any of the ones from the GDU era, during the height of their fame. I did love very much, and really appreciated, the early fan sites that accumulated and shared the wealth of media, etc. that was available then, but, sadly, none of them had the website skills necessary to create the fan community that we have here, and a strong fan community is what keeps us going. I hope that those early webmasters have stayed with the band and found and joined this community.

I took the quiz and got 6 out 8 as well.

As per your request, here's some cake for all of us to enjoy. It's music-themed and even addressed to Jim on the side, so we'll just assume my name is on the part of the cake that's not visible. ;)

Yummy!

Thanks for your kind words, everyone!
