Keep it at a whisper...

     Oh my!  I have been working at a frantic pace these last few weeks.  It seems as though ever since that snowstorm hit, so did a flurry of work that needs to be done.  Writing, reading, rehearsing, creating, networking, follow up,  ... cleaning...  But it has been good for me (or that's what I tell myself).  I have been gaining new skills, honing ones I didn't even know I had, and stretching the ones that I regularly use to the limit.  The best thing about all of this activity, however, is that it is building up it's own momentum.  Folks are stepping in, and taking on their share as this creation takes on a life of it's own.  If this creative endeavor (RTB) was a baby, you better believe it is now going to take a village to raise this thing right!  Luckily enough, a village is forming.
     As I prepare myself to exit 2010, and enter the new year, I must pause and think on what the last 12 months have provided.  Scobra and I have now been in Seattle for the duration of a year.  While I love and often miss LA and my friends there, I do not regret our choice to head north.  The creative freedom here is abundant.  We have FINALLY been able to join forces with like-minded individuals and feed this lovely beast to the point where it is now larger than either he or I could have imagined.  After 2 years of a duo act, we now have... I loose count... Somewhere in the ballpark of 10 people on our team!!  Very gratifying indeed!
     So as I look ahead to the year to come, I get a jazzed feeling about it.  More dancers, a set designer/art director, projections, drums... Oh! The list could go on!  Plus, we will FINALLY (come hell or high water!) release our full length album.  We will hit the road and tour.  We will have a real damned website.  The live show will be even more spellbinding and cohesive.  We Will Rock You (in an un-rock sort of way)!!!
     We will close out this year with a show on December 23rd at Skylark Cafe.  It is a fund raiser for Northwest Harvest (local food bank) which makes me feel good and helpful.  And it will be the best show yet.  You know why?  Because each show that we do, is better than the last!  That's why!

     So LOOK OUT 2011!  'Cause we're coming in with a bang!  No fear.  No regrets.

     Oh yes!  And as for the title of this post:  I wrote that because when I sat down and started thinking about what I wanted to write here, a million things came to mind that are not yet developed enough to disclose.  These ideas are in their first trimester, so to speak.  We have some VERY EXCITING and radical projects in the works... However... My policy is to not speak on something that I have not yet gotten on it's own two feet.  So, as much as I would like to tell you all these wonderful things, whisper them in your ears to not yet be repeated... I cannot.  But I DID want to whisper to you that there are whispers yet to come.  And when those whispers grow feet, I will no longer whisper, but rather turn it up to 11 ;)

Over and out,
