Our undue apologies...

for leaving you hardcore VTB fans without any new posts in quite some time. To date this has been the longest hiatus we've taken and we can only explain it away using the following reasons:

First and foremost, not the most technologically savvy web geeks, it took us some time to figure out how to use this crappy new blogger interface. Damned you people.

Secondly, We here at voices from the balcony have been experiencing a bit of an identity crisis. While out gallivanting on Saturday night in Billyburg, we were confronted by people who were curious as to what our blog was about? We stuttered and stalled, caught totally unawares that a blog had to be about anything. Then the hemming and hawing began, should we refocus our little site or, rather, give it any focus at all? We quickly nixed the idea of a political blog because who can be bothered to get their facts right? That gave way to having just a totally pop culture focused blog, but there are so many others out there that do ten times the job that we could. Should we get personal? talk about our dating/sex/work/the direction of our meaningless consumer driven lives? so not us.

So like William H. Taft in his bathtub, we were stuck. And then it seemed to us that the only fair thing to do is quiz you folk.(or rather have you make the decision as we are terrible decision makers). So to he people who read the blog regularly and without coercion: What do you like? What do you hate? Do we need focus? Do we need a theme? Or do we just need some therapy and a little thorazine? Help!

Sincerely,

Voices from The Balcony
