Uhhh.... I won't repeat all that "trying to find balance" stuff, because it seems clear enough that I'm still looking for it. One thing I have found since I last wrote, is a long list of more things that need to be done. So here are some fun things that have gone on since this summer.
On my birthday (earlier this week) I finished writing a script - something I have never done before, and LOVE doing! And I also saw this review of our album for the first time. I think if I had known as a teen that a decade ahead I would be called a "wallflower on fire" I would have smiled a little more often ;) frontline press album review (I was a seriously-secretly-shy gal. Probably still am)
We have also been playing out of town in higher doses. Sticking to the PNW, we've made forays into Olympia, Portland, Boise, Spokane, Bremerton, and I don't remember where else. This month we're really burning some rubber. We are in Corvallis this weekend, Seattle and Silverdale next weekend. And the following weekend has turned into a lot of driving for me... Spokane, Bozeman, Boise. Fun stuff indeed. We are planting our seeds, and breaking some ice { and oh man it was so cold the last time we were in Boise!!! Sub zero. I had to drink 3 beers to get the gumption to put my costumes on - something I never do. AND then I had to run off stage during an instrumental break to pee. Sorry for the details, but I thought it was hilarious, and was glad I didn't pull a Fergie moment...}. Olympia review - Oh, and we're back in Oly on Monday the 20th too.
Scobra and I are still writing new tunes at a furious pace, and I SWEAR we will release AT LEAST one album this year, if not more. Our problem is organizing and polishing, not writing... Which I suppose is a quality problem to have.
All in all, though I wish there were more time in the day to get things done, this year is looking to be a sizzler. And the end of this month, January 26th to be exact, marks the anniversary of recording our first song: Killing Time. I think we're 6 years in now. And 6 is my favorite #

Oh yeah, here's a cool poster to look at too.
