just in case i wasn't clear about this point.....

the alter-reality will run from 1996 (2016) until 2013 (2033). if i make it that long...

i'll be 52 in 2033, which is probably my life expectancy. neither my father nor my grandfather made it to 60.

put another way, the idea is that i'm going to catch this blog up to itself in real-time, from 20 years prior. and, that is something that i should be back to writing relatively shortly, i hope - and that i'll keep up to date on when i get back to it, too - i hope.

so, i'm not going to focus too heavily on writing concert reviews or anything else from before mid-2013.
