Sebastopol

I think that is how it is spelled. Anywho, that is where I am going tonight, for the weekend. I have a photo shoot tomorrow for a couple of hours and then Chris and I are going to go do Christmasy things. I miss doing Christmas stuff. We are going to stay at his mom's house and just relax, watch movies, go for walks, hang out with horses, etc. It should be really nice.


I went to a couple of local "festivals" this week. Both of them were at the Crepe Place which is a restaurant/venue. It is a weird venue but they seem to get really good shows and the one last night was sold out. Shaky Hand have played there twice. The first festival on Sunday was the Loves In Heat records festival featuring local bands from the label. Here are the bands that played that night. You should check them out, give 'em some love, support musicians:

James Rabbit
And Hod (amazing voice)
Misty Mountain
Hermit Convention (my friend's amazing solo project)
Room for a Ghost
Moon Cadillac
Mountain Animal Hospital (obviously I like them because Chris is in it, oh and they are good)
Motorcycle Snakebite
Sheena
Depth Charge Revolt (was their CD release)
Harry and the Hitmen (super fun special guest, not on the record label)

Last nights show was a festival to celebrate the Tannery's compilation CD of local bands and solo projects. I am too lazy to look up who played but And Hod played again and Mylo Jenkins headlined. I love them.

Speaking of the Tannery, WE GOT IN!! We finally found out that we passed everything, got through all the damn hoops and will be living in this amazing new artist space. For really cheap. It rules. We should be able to move in in mid february. I'm moving out of my house into a temporary space but am seriously considering just putting my stuff in storage and heading north until the Tannery apartment is ready. I need to be in town for the 10th of January. Also the Shaky Hands are coming on the 16th as well. But after that I should be able to run around for awhile. But what to do with Kitty.....
