i’ve been told I need to update more.
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009Hello friends and Ben Pettit (who has informed me I need to update this site more: you may be the ONLY one checking it out, so THANKS!).
The long-awaited CD is almost complete. We have one more day of mixing (with the fabulous David Henry, who also did all the strings on the album) and then we send it to get mastered (which I think basically means balancing out molecular somethings-or-others with a big computer and a fabulous sound system). A good friend, (and VERY patient roommie in college) Leah Tumerman, is doing the artwork for the album… check her beautiful work out www.leahtumerman.com
Other news: I spent last week in New Orleans with the family and some really good friends screaming at people elevated by beautiful artistic (and often crude titled) floats. Asking them to throw me a bead, or a cup, or a stuffed animal…even a banana! At one point during the day (when a parade wasn’t riding, of course) we walked through the graveyard because above ground graves are beautiful to out-of-towners, and I tried to be artistic and find quotes on graves that were inspiring for songs… alas to no avail.
Other news: why do women torture themselves with a silly thing like “waxing lips?” I did it today. On my own. It really hurt. I will not do it again.
Other news: can you believe John Locke? I mean it’s just nuts. If I could find a man as interesting as the show Lost, I’d be swooned and won over!
Other news: I promise to keep you posted with music. PROMISE!!! There are some shows coming up, check them out on my myspace… www.myspace.com/sarabethnet
love to you on this Ash Wednesday
