1. Took a vacation
2. Went out with a guy I ended up being great friends with
3. Cried a lot
4. Talked to an old boyfriend endlessly
5. Filed all my CDs and vinyl (this was a MAJOR project)
6. Lost 5 pounds and went from blonde to redhead
7. Produced the Hot Rods-n-Honeys custom car show with Mercury Charlie
8. Cleaned my closets and gave away 3 garbage bags of clothes
9. Ran the Gourds' merchandise table at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar
10. Produced the 5-week NEXT UP: THE U18 AUSTIN MUSIC SHOWCASE for teenage bands and singer-songwriters that was so phenomenally successful, an SXSW showcase has developed out of it and we return to Threadgill's for the spring series in April 2009.
Of all the things I did, 10 was the coolest. I saw more fantastic talent than I could imagine coming out of kids 15, 16, 17, 18 ... I have a list of 37 working bands under the age of 18 from death metal to hip-hop to singer-songwriters. Guess what I am going to be doing throughout 2009!
Merry Christmas and other holiday wishes to all with special love and affection to all who took the time to respond on and offlist to my broken heart. It's a little better now, thanks.
