Hello dedicated and patient discussion list!
I am so so so busy all the time! I am writing songs and planning my album
Ravengirl. The Quaint & Curious Ravendemos SOUND and LOOK fabulous!!! I
can't wait for you all to hear them and tell me what you think of the new
songs.

Things I have done this month...

1. moved me, my cat Sadie, all my things, and Sealed Lip Records, to my
new home in Providence RI

2. unpacked and arranged all of my things into my new kitchen, bedroom,
SLR office, music room, and fireplace room

3. honored my former life partner's 2nd death day

4. planted 19 sunflower seeds and 8 morning glory plants and tried not to
let my houseplants die during the move

5. celebrated my pépère's 80th birthday

6. rehearsed and debuted my brand-spanking new trio(!) consisting of Nisha
Purushotham on percussion and Tony Teixeira on bass

7. received almost all the Quaint & Curious Ravendemos I ordered and
mailed them out to all the pre-order-er's and raised four fifths of the
money I need to record and duplicate the next album Ravengirl

8. practiced meditation and visited my meditation teacher at Moonstone Beach

9. rehearsed WomanSpiritRising: a feminist chorus for our next big show in
Peacedale RI on September 18th

And that's not everything! Stay tuned for updates about my progress with
the new CD and upcoming performances including a mini tour to NC for the
Tori Amos Tribute Concert and RAINN Benefit on October 15th. (I'll be
playing Happy Phantom, Professional Widow, and Black Dove (January).) And
it's not too late to get your Ravendemos! Go to the recordings page for
more info.

Be blessed!
Kristi
