First Gig Since 1991

I've been working with a couple of musical projects (playing rock 'n roll cello) and last night I played with the most excellent viola player this side of the Missasip....Ron (you can see his red shirt hiding out in the vampire pict below).  Our project is called Dorkestra and we're currently working on Sonic Youth and Smog songs.

Look Mom!  I'm actually a vampire! A vegan one...it's a tough life...

We were only able to squeak out 2 of the 3 songs we had prepared, as the "Jam Band" dude running the show was a bit hostile towards us...HA!  I think he was just intimadated by our fretless instruments (you see stringed instruments such as the cello and viola don't have handy dandy frets that indicate where one is to place one's fingers to make each note. Nope, frets are for the weak LOL). 

Anywho, I'm feeling super proud and so grateful for the support from friends and of course the Hottie Hubby (thanks for the picts!) and super-duper grateful to Ron for his patience and humor.  I am definately the weak link in our duo (but not for long!).  I'm thinking of trying to fit an Interpol song into our set list...The future's so bright/loud, I gotta wear earplugs!

Any suggestions for indy/punky/rocky songs we should take on?

Doppelganger?

I've heard that I have a doppelganger and that she's an alien...At least I have an easy Halloween ahead of me!

What do you think?

Here's Chowder taking a snooze during a recent vegan pot luck party.  Sooo many great snacks! You can see some of the great eats in the back ground.  Thanks for the photo, Cheryl!  OMRabbit!  Look at them feet!

Learning to Make an Amp!

Hokey Smokes!  I just signed up for a class on how to make my own practice amp (for my cello) at the Supreme Sound Studio.
I don't know nothing about (birthin' babies) amps/electronics, but am *amped* to meld my love of craft with my love of music.

Any suggestions for what to use as a container?  They suggest using a cigar box, but I'd like to use something that's not linked to lung cancer.  What do you think? Maybe something attached to a tip jar LOL!

Martha Martha Martha

Ok, this is just a teaser post...I haven't processed the images from last night's Martha Stewart Bloggers' Night Out yet (I have tons)...

I decided to showcase the tattooed folks (there were about 6)

I met some fun peeps (Liesl from Oliver & S, Matt & Adam (my newest bestest friends & superb photo dudes), etc.)

Stay tuned! I have LOTS to dish about.

I Wonder If She'll Like My Tattoos?

Tomorrow I'm having more work done on the tattoo on my right arm. 
Exciting! Ouchy!

Then on Thursday I'm going to the Martha Stewart "Blogger's Night Out" event in NYC.  Word on the street is that Ms. M. won't actually be there, but her daughter will. I wonder if there will be any vegan snacks...I'll bring some just in case :)
Exciting! (hopefully not) Ouchy!

And, just to be random, here's a pict of one of the earrings I made a while back (modeled by my super lovely cousin Ginella). 
Exciting! Only ouchy if I make like 100 of them in a single day.
