we promise. 

first of all, we are not breaking up, disbanding, done with it, etc.

there will be a short hiatus.
our bass player jill harrison is moving to oregon to be a professor of sociology, and our last show with her will be the aug 22 carabar show in columbus. we are also begin to work on our second record with jon chinn at central city recording very soon, which we are super excited about.
we will be welcoming the one and only gretchen tepper back to the band as the bassist.
also i am getting married at the beginning of october, which i/we will also need time for.

so we're not done. we're starting our next record. aug 22 will be our last show for a little while, but not permanently. cool?

Also, since it's out, it is true...this is our next to last Columbus show with bassist Jill Harrison. She is moving to Oregon where she has a totallysweet position as a professor of sociology. We are sad to see her go, but we wish her well.

Rosehips will be continuing to rock your face off.

myself and tamara strickland, naturopathic physician, as special guests on the pat radio podcast can be found here.

we are talking about naturopathy, and the benefit show this friday 04.10.

hello all,

rosehips are pleased to announce that we are benefiting and raising awareness for naturopathic medicine in central ohio. specifically, we will be benefiting the Columbus Clinic of Naturopathy.

friday, april 10 @ the treehouse. 10pm:
ease the medic: www.myspace.com/easethemedic 
nuclear children: www.myspace.com/nuclearchildrenmusic
rollo: www.myspace.com/rollofour 
rosehips

also joining us will be the naturopathic physicians from the Columbus Clinic, Tamara Strickland and Jennifer Ball. they will be present at the venue to provide information.

so, what exactly is a naturopathic physician, and why should there be a whole entire rock show devoted to them?

basically, to obtain their training, naturopathic physicians, attend accredited naturopathic medical schools. there they learn to employ a more holistic means of healing the body in which they look for root causes of health problems, and treat the whole person instead of just the symptoms. oftentimes they will use a combination of natural supplements, herbs, botanicals, homeopathics, and dietary changes.  more specific info can be found via the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians.

naturopathic physicians provide many benefits to people and the community, and this is especially true in the states where they are licensed. unfortunately ohio is an unlicensed state for them, which makes the choice to pursue this type of healing more difficult for everyone involved. the more awareness and funds we can raise, the more we can allow their medicine to flourish and hopefully one day obtain the proper licensure.

through this show, we hope to bring awareness to the columbus music community. we hope that you will join us.

<3,
rosehips

DAY 1: YOUNGSTOWN...




damn i hate this drive, youngstown or cleveland. it always sucks, and this was certainly no exception as it took us four hours to get to youngstown. half the time it was pouring rain too, but i guess at least it wasn't snowing this time.





night 1: cedar's lounge / youngstown, OH

we played first, people seemed to like us alright. even after a couple years, i still can't seem to shake the fact that i think that people expect us to suck or not be so good because we are girls. this is amplified when out of town and nobody knows who we are. i do have a good time proving people wrong most of the time if that is the case.
"for girls, you really rock..." yeah, whatever.

pictured is death crazed teenage superheroes, and i thought they kicked ass. we will bring them to columbus. we also played with the maxi pads, from pittsburgh. they were alright, not really my thing.

the afterparty went something like this...




then this...



ROLL THE NINES!! i think they made it up. correct me if i'm wrong.
it's basically a very intense face-off, and you roll until somebody gets a nine. i lost.




DAY 2: YOUNGSTOWN TO CLEVELAND...




jill's parents were kind enough to let us crash at their place in youngstown again, and i woke up to this. got some mega vitamin d while lolling about in the yard and talking to the boy on the phone. lorn and i discovered the guiness of lilacs as well, the super dark purple ones.

check out this guy...




we went shopping in the afternoon at gabriel brother's. sooooooo much awesome stuff for cheap. we scored a bunch of american apparel shirts for merch...rosehips tshirts coming soon!!

then it was on to the royal treatment at uncle larry's house. seriously.



uncle larry made us this...



blackened salmon, homemade mac n' cheese, sauteed snow peas and water chestnuts in orange liquor.
wine.
ice cream and black coffee for desert.
can anyone say FOOD COMA?? omg, i couldn't stop eating, it was the best thing i have eaten in like a month. i can only hope to be able to cook this good someday.

and, bogart!






when you get to pats in the flats in cleveland, some questions you might ask are "is this place closed?" or "is this where we dump the bodies?" it's a super old building in the middle of industry, usa.

we took some band photos with steve, which i have yet to see, but down the street was an awesome bridge...



and the BFB, or "big fucking boat."








night 2: pat's in the flats / cleveland, oh

there were supposed to be five bands, but one of them didn't show. golden ox, thee tv oh dees, the twilight, then us. it wasn't packed by any means, but there were enough people there that it wasn't depressing. siblings, lauren g, 3/4 hotchacha, rick from minute of arc all came. the people who hadn't seen us before or didn't know us or both seemed to really like it. plans are in the works for us to come back to cleveland for an awesome show.




jovana from hotchacha took us out on what was left of the town( it was about 1:30am) to a place called edison's. she is crazy as hell, but in a good way. i cannot wait for the lady show at the end of this month, they are coming to columbus to play with us and the jellyhearts at carabar. hell yes.

we crashed at the house of cha...



jovana made us tasty pasta and gave us beds to sleep in.




DAY 3: THE I-71 BLUES...

the only thing that is more lame than i-71 is nebraska.



this is the goasis, the newest in truck stop technology. it's bright as all hell inside, and it has an information kiosk. i have fond memories of this place as it involved the first time i really hung out with the boy, or thee time i hung out with the boy.




this is in front of my house while the tornado sirens of death were going off. apparently there was a touchdown in delaware. i wasn't kidding when i said every time i hit the 270 line there is a line of dark clouds, looming ominous weather.

but it's not like i'm not glad to be home...
it's the best part of traveling.
