Switchblade Symphony

First of all, I forgot to write in my journal yesterday. Oops. And I've been getting a ton of requests for signed photos - weird. Good, but odd.

The show at Boom was wonderful. I got to hear everybody again except Tracy (she took the night off and just Emceed). I love the bar and the patrons and especially the music.

I heard a CD today while I shopping and asked what it was, they sold it and now it's in my CD Changer. There's a band called Switchblade Symphony with a track "dissolve" and initially I thought it was Sinead O'Connor doing a guest spot with Delerium. But it's a totally different group. I'm really enjoying all that I've heard so far.

I'm off to Dayton, Ohio tomorrow morning bright and early for a friend's wedding. I can't wait. Later...

Boom

Tonight I'll be playing at Boom again with Tracy Johnson, Hattie & MJ Kroll - that's the line-up last I heard. Many of you have e-mailed asking about the set time...uhm... well I'm not sure. I don't know the order of events right now but I'm the newest attendee so I'm thinking I'll go up somewhere around 9-ish. Everyone act is well worth checking out...so plan on sticking around for the whole evening and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Hope to see you there!

BOOM

I went to the Cat Show this weekend in St. Paul. Cute little kitties.

On Wednesday, January 29th, I will have the pleasure of sharing the stage with some fabulous females at BOOM in Northeast Minneapolis. More details to follow.

I have M. Doughty's song "Bottom of a well" and Ike Rielly's rap "I Don't want what you got going on" playing in my head. It's kind of nice...

Pastor Paul's

I had a great night at First Ave for Pastor Pauls. I met some friends, old and new and from what I hear...the evening was a huge success for the mission. Cool huh? More later.

Pastor Paul

Don't forget to come down to First Ave this evening for Pastor Paul's Acoustic Garage Sale. Vendors, Music, Drinks...what more could you ask for...?

Monday

I had an interesting time at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Small towns fascinate me. Driving back last night I chased the sunset, heading west faster than the world could turn I guess. The sky was a delicious shade of violet. I listened to every CD I haven't absorbed since Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed the drive. It was extremely cold though and believe it or not, Minneapolis was warmer than Wisconsin!

Employee party at First Ave tonight (friends and press and label people are invitied too I guess)

Mr. Manager and I plan on having a wonderful time.

O

Anybody ever read "The Story of O"? I'm in the middle of "Exit to Eden" by Anne Rice (big surprise there right?) and she mentions the book. Speaks very highly of it in fact. I'll check it out the next time I'm at the library or Dreamhaven.

Frou Frou is still the marvelous music filling my house.

I have to go find a chain saw now. Long story.

Thank you to the Star Tribune for mentioning me (along with the other participants) as a critic's pick for Pastor Paul's show next Wednesday at First Ave. Sweet huh?
