oh yay!

A candidate for actual theater viewing!

trip!

So, here's to another 3000 miles+ band trip.



It will Saturday through Sunday of travel, seven concerts, Bourbon Street, oh, and lots of homework, and hopefully finishing a sweater that I got yarn for.

There are NOT matching clothes. (phew.)
And, I don't have to pay a cent! (wow.)
And, can we say, per diem!? ($200.)

But, our main 'cultural event' involves going to a street full of, well, bars.
And, I will have to do homework.
And a concert every night.
And, no attending church on Sundays. :(

But, the per diem! sweet.

If any of you are out there, we're playing at all those stops - you're more than welcome to come to our concerts!

another question, or two

I'm beginning my rough draft (what I like to term, spewing thoughts on paper) and had some questions:

Why do you think that those same primary kids who sang every single Sunday will later on say, "I can't sing" or, "I'm not good at music?

And, does it even matter that these kids think that they are not singers, or not good at music?
(I guess it's a way of asking, why is music important, and do you think everyone can, and should appreciate music?)

getting there

Next week I will be adding four more states to the total! (Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.)

an announcement

Well, first an update. The second attempt at making a recital dress failed miserably. So, I bit the bullet and got one. It's not something I would normally see myself wearing - I guess that's a good thing.

More importantly, though, is I've sold my soul. (I almost spelled 'sole')

And I quote (from here):

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. If you have a request, I'd be happy to entertain it...(within reason, of course, and my budget.) This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1-I make no guarantees that you will like what I make for you! But I hope you will...
2-What I create will be just for you. Or maybe a member of your family if you'd rather.
3-Give me at least til August to finish, please, unless you are moving and need it sooner... then I'm sure we can work something out. And if you are long distance, I'll probably send via cheapest shipping.

The catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to post this same information on their blog and leave a comment telling me they did will win a lovely homemade gift by me! Have fun with this!

I especially like the 'give me at least til August' restriction. I most definitely will try to finish before then, but I had some stress-induced eye twitching a week or so ago...not good.

So there you have it!
