Busy Bee

Ha ha, so this may be a bit of a silly post.  But I just realized that the title is also the name of the funky corner store across the street from where I am living.  Back when I first moved to this neighborhood as a teenager, this hood was still solidly 'hood'.  The busy bee was missing a whole section of their wall, so they used to keep these two really agro dobermans chained outside of the missing section.  At full-vicious extension of their chains, they would get just out of biting-reach of you as you walked through the aisle past the ice cream... Since then, they have put a wall back up... classing up the joint as it were...
But now to what I really meant to write about:  I have been a busy bee myself these last few days.  Working my butt off on the album, and all things related.  More wonderful guest artists are joining the ranks.  Tim McGovern of The Motels is hopping on board.  I am very excited to have yet another brilliant and hard working artist be a part of this project!
I have also been doing a lot of work on our upcoming show at Seattle's Founder's Day Festival.  We're talking fashion runways, troupes of dancers, people flying in from all over the country to see us... It's going to be proper pandemonium.  My only hope is that it is also harmonious.  And as it is all starting to come together, I am feeling more and more confident that it will be.
Today I am also having my first fitting for my costume that is being designed by the lovely Mandie.  I can't wait to see and feel the rough draft on me.  Last week we went and picked out the fabric (black, silver lace, and royal purple), and now I get to see the beginnings of life in this outfit.  :)
-Work, work, work.  I've got more to do, and so I must go.  Such is the life of a busy bee.

p.s. If you click on the title of this post, it will link you to the new mixes of a few of the songs that are going on the album.  Sneak a peek if you wish :)
