touring with friends

seems like the most incredible thing.



it is no secret that I am one huge Brandi Carlile fan. Watching her play with some of her own heroes is a really cool thing...gives me hope for myself? It's hard to put a finger on what makes her so wonderful to so many people - I didn't think anything of her the first time I heard her, actually. It wasn't until I saw her live that I was totally enamored. I hate to simply surrender to the "it factor" theory, because I think it's something even more than that. Something I wish could be bottled up so that maybe I could get some myself. I do wonder some days thought if it's more inner belief than anything else. If you want people to see you a certain way, you simply believe you are that way, and it translates. Maybe?

...writing is coming along. I should hopefully have two new songs completed by the middle of this next week...playing open mics Monday and Tuesday for the next two weeks, as well. It was my goal to do at least one a week this month, and for one reason or another, I haven't, so I've got to make up for it. There's no room for slacking.

music of the moment: "Where Does the Good Go" - tegan and sara
