It was great fun hearing her talk about her first Sniffapalooza. i think we bonded as Sniffa "virgins" or maybe not. she was filming and recording and it should be great fun seeing what she chooses to post. Just a head's up she spoke at length to Chandler Burr and I thought it was a great Miami Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728578016551788661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-14347967046719677012010-04-09T04:28:07.544+01:002010-04-09T04:28:07.544+01:00Good luck Katie and have fun!
