      Got my copy yesterday and watched last night. I just want to say how much I really, really enjoyed it. It was spot on and renewed my belief in the transformations music and community can bring into one's life. Thanks you so much for your hard work!

      Amazing you'll be screening it at Burning Man, and at some of my wife and I favorite places (we actutally first met at Sacred Spaces @ 5:30 and Esplanade in '09, next to Red Lightening!)

      We can't make it this year, because of the recent birth of our little daughter, but our hearts will be there at you screenings on the playa!

      Blessings, and big congrats on your success!
