I heart Technology

Guess what? Computer poooooooped out. So I had to scrounge up some money to get a new one. I applied for one of those Staples credit cards and they actually gave it to me... suckers. Ohhh man... credit card tiff? Bad friggin idea. But anyway, got a new computer and guess what it has? Working sound!!!! For about... oh.... forever, my old computer didn't have any sound and I couldn't make it work and as you probably know, I don't exactly speak "Computer" very well. But with this new, shiny, WORKING machine, I'm kinda going around checking out some of the stuff that I had wanted to all along, but couldn't because I couldn't hear shit all. Here's a perfect example:

http://prairiebellespodcast.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

that's a podcast that I'm mentioned in. I believe... that's possibly the first podcast I've been mentioned in, and I think that's pretty sweet. I know, it's an old podcast, you missed that show already, but I still think it's cool and you should follow these ladies cause they're doing something nice for Edmonton's music scene. And anyone helping out Edmonton's local music is gr-r-r-r-reat. Like a Tiger on a Cereal box kinda great.
So if you listen to these kinda things, listen to theirs.
I'm playing in Leduc on saturday, Dueling pianos at La Pisana. I have no clue where it is, but I'll find it. And if you like dueling pianos, you'll find it too :)
The weekend after that, I'm at Avenue Theater with Ray Mailman, The Consonance, Jonek, and The Joe. We're doing alittle thing called "Funky vs. Fresh" with some funky ass tunes and some intellectual rappers. It's an all ages show, which scares the crap outta me cause I get potty mouthed with mics... but we'll see... we'll see. I've never met most of these dudes, and I'm bringing the lady-talent to the stage I believe... maybe we'll all be friends and do funky/fresh shows together in the future...

Any publicity is Good Publicity. Especially when it's Really Good Publicity

For those of you that found this blog through my website, you're pretty awesome. I hope you're listening to the CD thinking about how wonderful it is, and how it has filled an otherwise empty compartment in your heart/life. Stretching it alittle? Yah, probably. I think I'm bigger than life. But it's a good thing I'm in such a good mood because yesterday I wasn't. Me and the-bf had discussed getting a dog, and I was more than super-pysched. But we decided yesterday that maybe we weren't really ready for one and I was devastated. But thinking of my first CD review makes me happier, because someone liked the CD and told their entire newspaper about it :)

That's the review. A big shout out to the Gateway for reviewing "The New Fabulous" and saying such nice things about it. And me. I like nice things about me.
And I also wanted to say (better late than never) that the show at the Bluechair cafe was probably the best show I've done to date. Thanks so much for everyone that was there, that played, that bought a CD, that laughed at my jokes, and I really really really hope that I see you again at another gig. Maybe even the Acoustic Open stage I'm doing next week... at the Taphouse in St. Albert... that would be super nice to see you there!
