It’s time to cut the birthday cake and pin the tail on the donkey, friends. Oh yes oh yes, donewaiting.com has survived one year on the internet with only a few bruises and scraped elbows.
Our adult teeth are starting to grow in, and we’ve just started to mumble our first words. Surprisingly enough, the first words uttered by the one year old infant website was “mp3” and “Tweedy.” Go figure.
So, what happened in a year?
And oh so much more.
In a time where I hate close to 90% of the music blogs and websites out there, I think we’re doing a pretty good job keeping one eye on the national music scene, and the other eye on the local scenes of the world.
Be sure to bake an apple pie for your local donewaiting.com correspondent. No one on the site gets paid anything (including me), since working on the site is more of an afterhours/weekend labor of love. But we will take your pies. And your cakes.
Speaking of cakes, we have two more birthday cakes to eat this month. We’ve already celebrated the birthday of donewaiting.com in Chicago, Indianapolis, Dayton, and Jersey City, but now it’s time to celebrate in the city that birthed donewaiting.com. That’s right, folks, we’re blowing it up new school style in Columbus Ohio.
Check it out, folks:

Again, thanks for helping us out on this little experiment. Just like the dude who jumped from the Empire State Building kept saying before he hit ground: so far so good, so far so good, so far so good……
