Current mood:  accomplished

Hey there!)

I'm officially on tour! YAY! It's pretty fricken awesome. I'm not gonna lie...

The cool thing about touring with Joshua Radin is that I get to use his sweet ass band! Holy lord they are good!) I'm only on the 3rd date of the tour... but I can just tell this one has a little bit of magic. We all get along... It's the best!)

I'm in Dallas right now... This is one of my favorite places to play... Texans just know how to get rowdy. I love it! I'm kinda home sick right now and this is as close as I'm gonna get! It's definitely feeding the soul, seeing as how I just ate at Chick-Fil-A!! Hooody hooooo!!!!

I've acquired the nick name "Bobby Pins Sheppard" (from the Tour Manager, Dan)... It's pretty funny... I'm the only girl on this tour and they've been noticing that I leave bobby pens everywhere! haha!) I'm honored to have that name!)

Today - I did something that I never thought I'd do... I bought my very own microphone (Shure 58)... I like to sing all up on the mic and my friend just told me a really gross story about how he was sound-checking one day before a show and something was wrong with the mic, so the sound guy came around and started checking it out and talking really close to it... and my friend noticed the sound dude had a gigantic oooozing cold sore... So that's when he decided to get one... and I thought,' Shit - maybe I should do the same thing... couldn't hurt..." So... I did!) yay!

Ok- talk to yall later...

Hopefully this blog didn't offend people who don't eat chicken, who don't wear bobby pins, or who have cold sores!)

*meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekers!

P.S. See u soon SANTA FE!!!!!

Can't wait for March 4, Cincinnati show. I'm hoping some beer drinking can take place. I mean c'mon... you have the next day free and the next show is in Cleveland so it's not like there's much traveling to do.. sounds like a plan to me, although I do work the next day and my students would not enjoy a hungover teacher, but I'd risk it for the occasion.

I'm so offended....I always use bobby pins to keep my cold sores out of my way when i'm eating...especially when I'm not eating chicken. You're sooooo inconsiderate of my feelings. Enjoy your awesome band!

Soo...can we discuss how excited I am you are on tour? Specifically that you'll be coming to Lawrence, Kansas, and my friend already bought tickets for us because I had a bad day last week. You and Josh Radin are my two favorite vocalists, and I think Feb. 27 is going to be an awesome day!

Saw you last night in Houston. I have to admit I didn't know who you were and I was completely blown away. You are an amazing talent! Got your CD and have told friends to check you out. Hope you make it back to Houston soon!! I also love your stage presence. The stories and chatter were great, plus you are pretty adorable!

Way to go on the Mic purchase. Fer Shure. OOOoooooooooooo. Ok - that was really bad, but I had to do it. Seriously, tho - a good mic is a great asset. It's totally part of your sound. Maybe experiment with some different ones? Sounds like a fun afternoon to me! And yes - this certainly protects you from cooties and worse. ".." Now if I can just get you to add a Portland stop to your tour...PLEEEEEEEEASE? Hope all is well and glad you're havin a kickass time on the road. PEACE

Wouldn't it just throw off the sound if you used a different mic? Especially one with better accoustics? (Shure is pretty good brand) What if they use cheap ones generically? Might just be better to clean off the mic with a wipey...PS Jealous that you got Chic-fil-A!

meiko, my mommy caught you last night at the loft in dallas & you were awesome! that is a great venue in which to showcase everyone's talent. you all sang beautifully & were very "real" which we don't get a lot of around here. i hope you found a cool bar to hang in afterward. i hear absinthe over at southside on lamar is good. of course, you are on your was to somewhere else now ...
