Coffee - nose cleaner

I want to tell you a quick story about me. About being computer retarded. I JUST noticed that there were any comments on this blog! Now I owe huge apologies to Andrea and Jesse cause I just saw them and they're good enough friends to comment even though I should be in Computer Kindergarden.
Also, another quick story: The Reverand (Nick Lovejoy drummer for the Gods) told me that he was reading a blog of mine and laughed so hard he had coffee coming out his nose. ehehehe I never meant to hurt anybody, just make them laugh until coffee came squirting out their nose.
Also, I'm writing today! With LoungeMD aka Jesse Peters (check out his blog as well! and his music!)
http://paramedicmusic.blogspot.com/
so we'll soon have something to show you guys.
ALSO. I'm buying a keyboard today, one of the two that will make up my new dueling piano company. Which I've decided on a name for! "The New Fab Players" will be up and running as soon as Kylie-wiley can do some building for me, and I can get this car-insuring-monkey off my back. Then I can buy the second keyboard and we'll be makin' some gravy! I'll let you know when you can check out a website, but it'll tell you to about the dueling piano show, also the cover band that you'll be able to book. (don't worry, it's fronted by me so its awesome) then I'll be a fancy business lady or something.
Thats it. Thats all I got for you at the moment. But come out to Overtime in Sherwood Park this weekend and I'll be there, dueling the face off of other piano players!

Makin' Musac

I've decided to like blogging. If it's not a chore then its funer...funner...something like that. It's ok. I can write about any old thing that I do and if it's funny to someone, awesome. If it's not, I'm not getting any famous-er right now anyway, so I might as well be blogging!
Had some drinks with Ms. Harper last night, talked about the dueling piano thang. We're trying to come up with business names for me. Something along the lines of "The Fab Tiff Hall and the Playas" Something... any ideas are welcome! I've got to go to some online thesaurus and look up different words for party, machine, hire me, and paying rent. I'm sure the anwser is somewhere in there.
Also went for drinks and found some bandmates!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jumping on board with me is the very handsome, talented, and smelling of nice young boys, I proudly introduce to you:
Ajay Paterson: the bully-er of all basses. No bass guitar can have any confindence after Ajay has spanked it all night long.
He's funny, he's single (ladieeeeees) and he told me his friends were drinking at Hudson's last night, and they weren't, so it ended up being just the two of us talking about our lives for the past 4 years or something.
Drew Malcolm: Guitar serenader! Guitar mamma's hide their young, soft, supple guitar baby girls away when they see this handsome young feller around! Lock em up! Lock em up! Drew's in town! He will make them love him and leave their guitar nest to follow him around the countryside! Playing Fab Tiff Hall shows and making human girl's scream and cry!
Last, but never least, but the shy-est of the group (I know, it's funny cause it's not true) Nick the Reverand Lovejoy: His anniversary is almost my birthday, his wife is gorgeous, and he'll give me a run for my money in a loud-obnoxious competition ;)
He'll also drum the shit out of any song on any setlist, and his parents will come and watch the show and entertain the band with stories of hilarious bumper stickers! He now has seniority over the other two, being in the band for probably a month or two longer than them. Feel free to wedgie them Nick. And to take the biggest piece of chicken.





Those are the boys! I may have some other fine musicians to introduce you to right away, so keep-on-a-readin! Also, if you have a gig, please book us! Or if you have any idea what my biz name should be, please tell me! If you see me on the street, please feed me!

Local Lilith Fair - The Morning After

Ugh. My head was fine, until I finished sobering up. Not that I got wasted, I'm just not 16 anymore......
I met alot of nice people, alot of talented people, and alot of drunk people. (My fav).
I also sold alot of buttons. I didn't know the fab Tiff Hall had buttons...? Well, I didn't, until yesterday on my way out to St. Albert. My pal Michael Hutchinson did them up for me, and cheap too! Very decent price, especially for how awesome they look! Some adult ladies (who I thought was one of the other singer's Mom) bought them just because they couldn't believe that that was what I was selling. I felt pretty dirty for a second when I thought it was Amber's mom, but then I thought, "Fuck, my Mom would wear ten at one time, and run around selling them to other people...so her Mom can't be that mad at me." Right? If my Mom approves of my ridiculous behaviour then whose Mom should judge me? Anyway... the buttons were a hit. I sold ALOT of CDs, which never happens, and felt good. Felt good and drunk.
I'm most def playing there again, I'll let you know, and if you don't come out, then your loss!!!! because it's a grand ol time out at the Taphouse St Albert.

Local Lillith Fair

My pal Michael has invited me to play in a show he has put together called the Local Lillith Fair. Last time I played a show for him out in St. Albert it was pretty close to a gong show. So I said yes. If you've ever been to the the Tap House in St.Albert, you should go again. I've looked up some info on the other ladies playing that night, and just to convince you further, I'll share alittle of my superior (heh) knowledge with you:
Amber Schneider, now I met her at Grant Mac, and again that night, http://www.amberschneider.com/index.html and she's super talented and I think we possibly had some good laughs as well. The other pretty ladies? Wasn't sure I had met any of them, so this is why I've researched. Some call it spying, but I think you're all beyond judging me now. Jadie Hunt I think I actually did meet that night as well! The clouds of jager have been slowly clearing as I research on. I had been worried that I don't "network" enough, but maybe I do... cause I knew two so far... but the next three I did not. But the one fine lady, Jenn Perry, was from a band called the Shakedowns, so I had more success stalking her and finding out alittle about her. http://www.thisbandkicksass.com/ You can't really argue with a website like that! Not that I would, I'm more of a drinker than an argue-er. Emily Hudson and Leah Durelle are also playing that night and if you come out, you will find out more about them, possibly have some cheap drinks, and maybe even see me sing a little of the new tuneage that will be showing up on the second album (yes). So come on down, and we'll enjoy each others company for alittle while. I'm gonna end up making some new friends, so you should too.

Revival

I'm sure everyone reading this (what, maybe two people???? but that makes you the fav two in the world!) anyway... I'm sure you two know about hard knocks. Maybe I've had some this year. I'm turning 26 next month and my good pal told me 26 was hard for him. You're not in your early twenties anymore, you're almost an adult, and when you were a kid you had a dream of your fabulous Sex-in-the-City life you were going to be living by now, blah fucking blah. I feel like that was me THIS year. And it fucking sucked! I mean, good things happened. And bad things, and I'm sure everyone's life is like that, whether they're rich or whatevs. The only reason why I bring any of this up is because I feel like today's a good day. I woke up, feeling pretty refreshed and actually willing to do something other than lay in my sweats and play stupid geeky computer games. I'm interested in my piano again, and putting in the effort I need to, just to get this next FEW projects off the ground. Let me tell you alittle about them, because Bird knows, I need the help.

First off, I've started doing alittle work with Jesse Peters for the next album. Second off, I need some band members. My fav boys are moving off to Toronto (boo) to try their musically talented hand out east (yay) and keep pursuing their dreams (yay) and leave me to drink alone (boo).



But hey. They've got dreams too. I wish them all the best of luck (with tears streaming down my face)
If you don't check out

then something bad will happen to someone. I won't tell you who.

So I'm searching for a new band. I've already found Nick Lovejoy, drummer extradinaire. I'm obviously spelling queen -inaire, I have no idea if that's right or not. But Nick's hopped on board, so we're brainstorming bass and guitar players. There are a few requirments:
Must like me, which is like, SO totally hard to do.
Must like beer, jager, or anything in that area.
Those are pretty much it. I can't have someone who doesn't want to drink a few pints with me, make up a setlist, and probably a few times, let my Mom buy them rounds and rounds of beers, because she REALLY likes to. Just ask Ian, the old drummer.

Oh, also they must be handsome, especially the guitar player because for some odd reason girls go apeshit for guitar players. It's true. Or piano players too actually, and I have no idea why. I even googled it. There were many-a-discussion, especially on dating websites about whether guitar players got all the girls or not. I didn't post anything, but I read a few posts.
Also, the duelling thing is on the ol brain. But I'll let you know when I've got something more than a few thought bubbles above my curly haired head.
