Hello friends!

I have just booked an around-the-world ticket for this summer. I'll be taking a trip around the world (!!) and I'm SO excited. This is not work, it's just for play (although I'd be glad to give a masterclass or a lesson here or there). Because of that, I'd like to reach out to you, my friends, and see if you know people in these countries/cities who might like to show show me around, grab a drink, or even host me for a night or two. I'll be going to:

Auckland, New Zealand.

Sydney, Australia

Delhi, India

Kathmandu, Nepal

Lhasa, TIbet (hopefully)

Thailand (cities undecided)

Laos (cities undecided)

Cambodia (cities undecided)

Vietnam (cities undecided)

Beijing, China

Ulan Battar, Mongolia (hopefully)

Helsinki, FInland

Rome, Italy (and maybe Naples and Florence and/or the Amalfi coast)

Madrid, Spain

Marrakech, Morocco


I'd love to get in touch with people in the places I'll be visiting. Please let me know if you know people! Also, if you've been to any of these places and can make some suggestions to me of places to visit and places to stay, I'd love to hear about it!

Thanks so much!


Warmly,

sara leib

This is my niece. She's 2. And apparently she knows the Amy Winehouse song. Copy and paste the link. You DIE laughing! She sang this to me over the phone today...

Here's the game:

I wrote two truthful statements about me/my history and one lie.

Then you reply post:

a) which one you think is the lie

and

b) your own two truths and a lie

and we play back and forth like that. Fun, huh?

1. Sara Leib can still remember 10 words in Nepalese that she learned from a Sherpa.

2. Sara Leib has lived in the rainforest with an indigenous Quechuan tribe.

3. Sara Leib has eaten warthog ribs (like, Puumba dude).

Clang Clang Clang for sure.

Some of you read my blogs. i know this because when I write the blog I can view how many people have viewed my blog that day/week/ever. So for those of you who like reading blogs, maybe you don't know it but I'm a huge foodie. HUGE. It's a wonder I even fit into my outfits.

Point is, I wanted to let you readers and music fans know about my food blog! Here's a link:

I enjoy finding new places and hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and I love reading food blogs. Hope you enjoy!

Hey friends and fans,

It's been a while since I've written. This summer really couldn't be more beautiful. I'm taking the month relatively off, travelling, enjoying myself, resting before the big upcoming year. Already been whitewater rafting in New Mexico (my purple knee will prove it), art gallery shopping in Albequerque, and river hiking in Sedona. Today will see me squirming aboard a plane trip to NYC.

"This shit is great, but what's up with her *music*?", you might be thinking. Well, as you may well have noticed I've been busy, but I haven't brought my band out in a while. That should all change this fall, don't worry. My dear teacher Dominique and friend Jed Wilson are coming to play Catalina's at the end of the month, and Jed and I should be doing some recording, which of course I'm ecstatic about, since Jed's musical touch moves me to tears. So stay tuned for that.

There are two restaurants in NYC that I'm excited about...will review once I'm there. There are also two wines I've discovered this summer that are so fantastic you should go buy them right now. They're relatively widely available (at wine shops but not grocery stores). They are:

Jordan 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley

and

Kim Crawford 2006 Sauvignon Blanc

Until next time, blog me what ya think!

Turn on your TVs, people!  If you're watching the NBA finals, you'll see 12 interstitial commercials (30 second clips during the comercials, so watch or it i you're TIVO-ing, if you care), entitled "The Finals, In Harmony" where I sing in a choir (much like the one on the Oscars), and we make fun noises along with the clips of basketball heroes form years past.

Yes, it's on *right* now!  Enjoy!

What's new with me, you ask? I'm in a world all my own. Singing some private gigs, teaching a LOT, cooking some beef rendeng, you know, the sara leib bit. I just got back from boston, where i got to see tom, nick, and andrea, and took a mind-blowing lesson with dominique eade. What's new in your world?
