All - Wade here. I want to give a big thank you to everyone that made Tortoise and the Snare a thriving reality over the last year. The trials and tribulations of running a music blog were amazing and fruitful, filled with countless, amazing interactions amongst many local people in DC I respect, and even the few chances to talk to industry greats that we all look up to.

Some of you may know I stepped down from leading the team a while back to focus on my career and other end...eavors. Since then, others on the team have moved/are moving on to other things, and I thank them so much for everything they have contributed (with no incentive, other than to be a part of the ride). I want to personally thank Carla (aka Tophatty) for everything she did for me and the blog, she was pivotal to any of the success we had. Thanks to Michael, Nick, Jake, Brandon, Meagan, and Nikita as well, the content was top notch.
