Re: SXSW current line up

[Cindy Lee Haddock <theunicorngarden@xxxxxxxxx>]

Pamela was a guest before....along with local
ex-groupie Margaret Moser, telling of their groupie
exploits and books they had written.  I know Margaret
had the show, but I think Pamela helped on the one
they did on cable about groupies.

I think it funny how that year, Plant came by to visit
(scouting I was told), but scooted off before she got
there....how things have changed....

:D
