True Tweetings of a Tittering Twit

Below is a selection of tweets from the blog's Twitter account posted over the past few months (mostly from my coverage of Ring Festival LA). Some funny, some silly. Yeah, it's been a slow day. Enjoy!

@eccentricgent and @notexnote: proof that even guys in blazers know how to get down!

Truly, is there any greater joy than racing through the Sepulveda Pass, wind in one's face, Wotan's Farewell pouring out of the speakers?
