Where does the time go? I've been meaning to write this post for days but somehow I got distracted between gigs and trips to Home Depot. We're currently doing some repairs and upgrades to our place now that Tony's off work for the summer. I can hear him up in the crawl space installing the Fortuny lamp we bought while in Venice on our honeymoon. It's only taken us 4 years to get to that!
And so.. and so... our big night on stage at the Queen E Theatre was quite a rush. I cannot tell you how utterly RIGHT it felt to be up there. All the months leading up to being in that spotlight could not prepare me for how quickly our set would be over. I have no idea how I'm going to propell myself back up onto a big theatre stage, but I swear to you... I could taste my future up there.
It was such an interesting contrast between shows this past week... The Queen E, another event at Hycroft Manor and then a little club called Rime for a Grrrls with Guitars showcase. I definately felt more alive for the first of the three. There's just something about curtains and dressing rooms and stagelights that calls me. Not that I'm complaining about being background music at a gorgeous mansion... it's just that being on a theatre stage comes closer to my aspirations.
I conjured the dream once. I'll do it again.

I am SO unbelievably happy for you that you've had this experience...nothing like a little drop of wine to make you want the whole bottle!!
