June Poop Scoop
So here we are in the second week of June and I’m just now getting the newsletter out! I’m punctually challenged, which has always gotten me into trouble in day job land…hence the current career choice. It’s not that I don’t want to accomplish tasks in a timely manner, I’m just easily distra…oooo look…a pretty butterfly out my window…oh…uhhhhh…I’m sorry. What was I saying?
Anyway, I’d like to start off with a heaping helping of gratitude to everyone who offered their condolences regarding Caesar. You guys really came through with your kind and supportive emails proving yet again, that the Sleepin’ Dogz family is a tight one.
We’d also like to thank those of you who were able to come out and support the Humane Society by attending our benefit concert at Sebastian River High School. It was big fun performing on a theater stage and even better knowing it helped the fury critters of Indian River County!
Speaking of fury critters, I’m embarking on another creative journey involving people’s pets. Some of you already know this, but I not only enjoy the blessings of the musical muse but I also dabble a bit in the visual arts. Lately I’ve been having fun painting pet portraits. Since I’ve found it to be thoroughly pleasurable I thought to myself, “Hey…why not try and make a little extra cabbage with this?” (So here comes the shameless plug) If you or someone you know would like an original oil painting of the family pet, let me know. You could have a lasting memento, and help support a starvin’ artist at the same time! Where’s the bad thing there?!
…..and now for something completely different. (my homage to Monte Python) We’d like to humbly apologize to our buddies in the Sarah Mac Band for having to postpone our Tallahassee show with them. Due to the proverbial “circumstances beyond our control”, we were unable to make the trip had to back out last minute….not cool. We ask forgiveness and hope to plan a show with them very soon. After all, it isn’t fair to hog up all of Leo’s dreaminess for myself. I know it’s only right to spread it around a bit.
We will, however, be traveling at the end of this month to our favorite venue in St. Petersburg, Fl, Prostar Sound Stage. On June 26th, we have the pleasure of opening for Lorna Bracewell’s final show in the Bay area…at least for a while. Lorna is leaving to be a full time doctorate student at U of F in Gainesville. We’re all very excited for her and wish her well. The show will also include performances by gifted songwriter Lexi Pearson and the psychedelic sounds of Beatnik Castle featuring Francillia. Tickets are $10.00 at the door, which includes tasty goodies and some of Jeanette’s “special” fruit punch. The doors open at 7:00pm, show starts at 8:00pm.
One last thing…I’d like to give a shout out to our friends Sheldon Shrum, John Aughinbaugh (formerly of 4 Steps Closer), Ray Hengerer, and Dave Ullrich on the birth of their latest band “Crooked Creek”. With Dave’s Nashville style “Tele” riffs combined with Sheldon’s Tennessee laden vocal twang, they’re everything you’d want in a country rock band. Kudos guys!
