Open Stages

So we've been doing the open mics
on tuesdays its poetry /spokenword /music
and on thursday its accoustic music.
There is also one on wednesday night that we havent been able to make it to yet,
but we starting to get involved with the whole scene and the artists.

Last Tuesday night we did the spoken word open mic and a guy had Amber go on his radio show after with a bunch of live booked artists to do some spoken word and an interview. So she was on the radio! It was awesome. The featured band for hte radio show was called Lucy (formerly Chykweed). They were awesome.

So we've been writing more songs up here. We have also picked up a couple more covers. Our sudden decision to sign up for these open stages twice a week has forced us to realize that we needed to spend more time writing and playing and practicing. It's great!

We've also had the opprotunity to do quite a bit more reading because we have cut television completely out. I'm actually reading a biography about Janis Joplin written by her sister Laura.

We now must get ready to head out into the cold snow to go to another open stage tonight. Amber has a poem about our homelessness last autumn that is crazy with magic!
