I figure if I do a little bit of this every day, I will be okay. I have a 1.5 hour solo gig at Flipnotics tomorrow, so I am hoping to spend some quality time practicing this afternoon. Tonight I have a friend from New York coming into town for the weekend... so we'll see how much I get done. It will be good for me to take a break and get out there and enjoy this town. Yay visitors!
While cleaning houses is working for now, I am excited to work toward being a booker and assistant to artists. My work with Havilah has felt very natural and mutually beneficial, and I'm excited to continue to explore artist support as a viable career option. It makes sense, as I spent so much time doing advocacy-based counseling with people in crisis. Working with eccentric artists will be nothing after that!
I co-wrote a song with the fabulous Mandy Rowden (http://www.mandyrowden.com/Who_the_hell_is_Mandy_.html) the other day and it was a whole lot of fun. She is super inspiring to me. She plays pretty much every instrument decently to well, has a great voice, and plays out every night of the week when she wants to. She also leads a female empowerment group called Girl Guitar, where she teaches female folks how to play guitar and sing in a supportive and wine-filled environment. It's a lot of fun!
I played at Havilah's going away show the other night. She's been coaching me (vocals, stage presence, etc) and I can already tell it is helping a ton. While this picture may not reflect those changes... I like it so here you go:
