I am procrastinating ...should be packing...I'm actually sitting next to a straw hat I got in New York last May and trying to figure out how to pack it without smashing it....too cute to smash! Couldn't figure it out...so here I am...on myspace and blogging...where are the packing elves when you need them? :)
I got home about an hour ago from watching Michael Logen (OMG - incredible singer/songwriter...go to his myspace...you will be a fan instantly!) ...play the Ryman Auditorium here in Nashville...it was amazing...just him and his harmonica at one point...it sounded so awesome...what a magical moment for him and everyone that got to see him! He was opening for Johnny Lang...Johnny makes me wish I had been born in Mississippi or Memphis and learned how to play guitar when I was 5 from old blues legends.
So...back to why I have to pack in the first place...I'm leaving for LA tomorrow for 8 days! Ahhhhh! I love California and I'm in denial that summer is over...so, I'm trying to make it last by moving closer to the ocean for a few days. My sister lives out on the West Coast, so I'm going to see her sweet face...write with some new friends and meet my new Sony family out on the West Coast to talk about film and television and music...and at the end of the week...road trip it down to San Diego with Meredith before I'm back to the 'ville...
I promise new songs will come from this ...traveling does that to me...sitting on a plane makes me think about life, love, time...maybe because you are forced to strap in and sit still...they're are lots of perfume ads in magazines with my messy handwriting on them because in-flight songs seem to show up out of the blue as soon as we take off...I'm hoping that happens again....
My sister is taking me surfing for the first time EVER too! I'm a little scared...but excited to try it...praying it's warm and all the sharks are at a shark reunion far, far out in the middle of the ocean...!:)
Have a beautiful weekend everyone...hang ten...hahahahahaha...I need to go pack...ahhhh!:)
