giddy going

  hello pals, and welcome to our updated wordpress existence.  the changes are subtle but important, and hopefully will ease your navigation, buying power, and general life expectancy.  do let us know if you find any oddness.  there are postal charges on top of basic cd prices now, and one column still isn’t registering the proper total, but rest assured you will be charged properly.  

and so many other things!  like for example, this picture here.  taken by my friend mark mushet at the red square (the excellent smoky smoke is from shirley’s bbq on the back deck), this photo has been nominated for the Best Portrait of the Year in the national magazine awards!  mark is a co-editor of the vancouver review, a fine arts mag here in our city.  they’re up for a few awards this year, good luck to them.  oh, and mark has a show opening at zulu records next week, more great photos of musicians.

and more:  the show Bone in Her Teeth, which contains the music that i’ve called The Raft of the Medusa, will open in vancouver on may 21.  that is of course with the leaky heaven circus.  i will not be playing live with this one, but i’ve passed the duties over to the lovely and talented chrisariffic.  i get home in time to see the darn thing at least, and i’m looking forward to it.

and of course, we’re hitting the road in germany, austria and switzerland next week.  band practices have been great, my health is fine, and we’re raring to go.  my husband’s band no kids is also on tour (check that link for details) and i’ll get to attend his show in berlin on may 11th!  fun!  ok, back to laundry and housecleaning and eating bon bons for me.   xv
