Posted by Lindy Shopper in Uncategorized on June 18, 2011
Due to a typo naming the band “Atomic Heaters,” recognition was delayed, but we’re excited to announce that they discovered the mistake and the Atomic Rhythm All-Stars was a finalist for the Best Jazz Group in the Triangle in the Independent Weekly’s Best of the Triangle 2011! The title of Best Jazz Group went to Atomic’s saxophone player’s band, Peter Lamb and the Wolves, so there are winners all around! Thanks to everyone who voted in the reader’s choice poll for both of these groups without being prompted or choosing from a list!

The Busiest Person I Know
Posted by Lindy Shopper in Uncategorized on April 28, 2011
I primarily set up this site as a placeholder for http://www.laurawindley.com because a good friend of mine, Shel Brannan, had always encouraged me to purchase my name as a URL. After purchasing the URL I thought it would be a shame to let this space sit here empty, but I was a bit mortified that I would have to write about myself. I can talk for days about the things I love – dancing, vintage clothing, swing era music – but having a website all to myself…well, it’s slightly uncomfortable.
I decided this site would keep track of all my activities and be an archive of what I am doing with my life – or, at the very least, a maintain a list of activities I enjoy.
Thanks for stopping by!
