Happy New Year!

Wow, it's been an amazing year ... 07 has been good to us. But: My Blog Died! I got buried in work! I know, I know ... it happens to us all (it doesn't help with Nintendo releasing games like Mario Galaxy!)

BUT! I decided (after seeing an awesome response and hit rate) that "Teft's Blog" needed the love rekindled. Mimi and I are getting back into mode of doing songs in an hour and want to share them with you guys. Some may be released under "Mimi & Teft", and some just on this blog. But we promise to share.

So, in other news Mimi & Teft will be releasing our first video soooooooonnn ...... sooooooonnnnnnnnn.
