Hello Dear Sir or Madam! 
I am prince and have $1,000,000 USD in foreign bank account awaiting transfer... OK, lame joke, sorry. Anyway, March sure is flyin' by. What the heck? Quickest month ever?? Well, regardless, welcome to the first day of spring!! We couldn't be happier for this time of year to be here, and to finish out the rest of this month, and spring forward into April and shower you with some serious freakin' Sheathness! Hopefully those of you who attended SXSW this year are beginning to feel rehydrated and recuperated ;) We sat this one out, but we definitely missed seeing all of your lovely faces and drinking until the room spins. Hopefully everyone had fun and was able to find parking without killing anyone :) Speaking of that, one year, in that parking lot off 4th street, a homeless guy screamed at us and smashed a forty bottle on the ground when we wouldn't give him any change. It was awesome. Though not as awesome as the time when someone stole the laptop out of our car, along with a bunch of priceless, autographed records. Or the time our car got towed in the wee hours of the early A.M. because we got back to the parking lot too late after a show. The strange part... it was all worth it to see all of our favorite people all in one place :)
Meanwhile, here's some pretty freakin' gnarly stuff that has happened in this month's Science News Round-Up!
- A pair of newly discovered stars is the third-closest star system to the Sun, according to a paper that will be published in Astrophysical Journal Letters. The duo is the closest star system discovered since 1916. The discovery was made by Kevin Luhman, an associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State University and a researcher in Penn State's Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds. Pretty gnarly! - An analysis of a rock sample collected by NASA's Curiosity rover shows ancient Mars could have supported living microbes. Getting so close here! There's a lot more Science stuff, but we thought it might be fun to also include a little History jammage this month while we're gettin' all smart-like? These important historical events have all occurred in the month of March over the years: - Julius Caesar is stabbed to death by Marcus Junius Brutus and some forty other Roman Senators (44 B.C.) - The Constitution of the United States of America goes into effect (1789) - Texas declared its independence from Mexico (1836) - The U.S. government issues paper money for the first time (1862) - The 15th amendment goes into effect, giving African-american men the right to vote (1870) - Alexander Graham Bell places the world's first telephone call, to his assistant in the next room. Patents the telephone (1876) - The Eastman Dry Plate and Chemical Company manufactures the first motion picture film (1885) - Coca Cola is invented (1886) - The Eiffel Tower opens in Paris, France (1889) - The Star Spangled Banner becomes the National Anthem in America (1931) - Alcatraz prison is closed (1963) Other cool stuff happened too, and continues to every day! So make today historical! Okaaaaaaaaaaay, we be ramblin'. Lets talk about music! Enjoy the March newsletter!!!
