Won't You Be Our Special Someone?
j
ust like a tween sitting by the phone — pining away the time because
that "special" someone is gonna call — we've been hoping to hear
from you. Hey, it's cool; we know you're busy and surely don't need
another guilt trip about not keeping in touch. We mean, we only gave
birth to you and you can't even pick up the
phone — wait a minute; our bad, that's
the wrong speech. Perhaps you'll feel
compelled to reach out now. Hope May
is a good one for you.

RE: Red Thread Magazine
I enjoy your magazine a lot; I particu-
larly enjoy articles that discuss trends in
Detroit — and of
course those that
discuss positive
things happen-
ing here. In fact,
I sent the link for
the magazine to
a friend who's in
South America for
the year, and he
responded back
that he really en-
joyed the articles
about Detroit and
about Tribefest!
This morning, I
read the editor's
blog and was
pleasantly surprised by how funny and
witty it was. I will definitely be check-
ing back regularly. Of course, I loved the
photos of Amy's (the editor's wife) baking
endeavors. She and I share a love of bak-
ing.
DO THE PIXIES LOVE US BACK?
RE: Highlights (April 2011)
I couldn't help but notice that in your glow-
ing announcement of the upcoming Pixies
concert in Detroit, you failed to note the
band's recent cancellation of their scheduled
performances in Israel. While the Pixies cited
"events beyond our control"for their cancel-
lation, the action took place shortly after
Israel intercepted the"peace activists"flotilla
headed toward Gaza.
A Pixies tour stop in Detroit is certainly
worth mentioning in your upcoming events
section. However, omitting a current and rel-
evant connection of the Pixies to Israel, and
consequently many Jews, left the band's tour
announcement seem incomplete in a Jewish
periodical.
The cancellation of shows and boycotts of
artists against Israel
has been a disturbing
trend for the past two
years and shows no
sign of subsiding. Per-
haps this topic would
make a good article
for an upcoming
edition of Red Thread.
