Soooo.... there's a lot going on. Also, there are way too many apostrophes in that title. Sorry.
Tomorrow, Judson College Coffee House. The laid back vibes will begin at 9pm.
Friday night:
Zach and the Broken Bones' CD Release at Trinity University in Deerfield, IL. It's only $3. $10 and you get in, PLUS you get their new album which Marky did the art for and I contributed some back up vocals on. It is going to be awesome.
Then!
Hoooooray! We don't have a booth at this craft fair but I'm still totally going.
And we're playing that CD release show as well, November 13th at the Union in Naperville, IL.
Then, we take a break until January 2nd when we'll be back at the Metro in Chicago with Kid, You'll Move Mountains, Picture Books and Crayolala. You can buy tickets here if you want to come out.
Don't they all look great?! That's the Culpa plus Mr. Nick as No Doubt. And their set was fabulous. There was lots of dancin'.
Me & Marky had a swell time being out. We kinda look like we're going off to get married. <3
Dre took some Björkish pictures of me. (Actually, she took all these pictures. <3) The dress was surprisingly comfortable to wear. The swan head had to sit in my lap while I was doing Dustin's makeup and eating, but other than that... totally wearable.
Sistas 4-evah! Speaking of putting makeup on Dustin... Total Gwenifying time: 45 minutes. Result:
Sassy. He dealt with the eyeliner, false eyelashes, nail polish and body glitter like a champ. Only a real man's man would endure such things all for the sake of a good Halloween. And dang, he was pretty. Haha.
So yeah. It was good. I'm pretty thrilled I got to go this year. I see now exactly what all the fuss is about.
Twelve hours of sewing and twenty-five yards of tulle later...
I attribute this dress' success to Marky, who acted as a dress form so I could pin the yards and yards of tulle to the skirt base.
We're in the annual pre-trick-or-treating hours of insanity. The kids are running around in circles, I've run out of things for them to do, so I'm hiding behind the laptop screen and trying to ignore the mess my house is rapidly becoming. Ah well. Today's about having fun. =)
Ok. I'm officially discouraged. I do have pleurisy, which could easily also be named "stabbing-chest-pain-disease." There's a place right by my heart that's giving me the most trouble - it literally hurts to breathe. Needless to say, Venna shows this weekend are canceled and if I don't show some rapid improvement, next week is going to be a whole lot of laying around again. Have I mentioned how much I hate laying around? I hate it. I have been sick now off and on for an entire month. And that is discouraging.
So I'm looking at happy things. Wanna see?
Typewriters make me so incredibly happy. Mine miss me right now, I know it.
I don't think I've ever seen a picture this cute. I mean, come on.
I'm making these pies in a jar the second I'm feeling better.
I don't know what the current photo shoot with people in bear suits trend thing is all about, but I massively dig it.
This looks like the absolute most perfect date ever.
This is going to be what my studio looks like someday. Although that rocker will be turquoise. Or orange.
