I'm vowing right now to blog more often...

We'll see how that goes... haha.

Well, hello everyone who reads this (probably no one.. ha),

I've been neglecting this blog lately, because I've been a combination of busy and also lazy, but I've been posting a bunch of pictures I like and things on my tumblr.. but that is no excuse! (Plus that's mostly pictures that I come across that inspire me, not so much a personal blog like this one is..) So I am going to try and start blogging here again as well!

I've started my fourth year of college and so far it's going pretty well. I have one night class and one online class (plus two normal day classes) which makes my schedule way different than I'm used to. Kinda weird, but I'm slowly but surely starting to adapt.

They just opened up the new student center which has been under construction for the past 2 or 3 years. They had a big all-day event for the grand opening called "The Big Reveal." I played for an hour up on the 3rd floor terrace where there was free food being served and it was pretty cool. Lots of people showed up and really seemed to be getting into my music. After my set was over, a couple foreign exchange students even asked to get their picture taken with me. It made me feel all cool and famous.. hahaha. Fun times though. Here are some pictures from the day:

Chicks With Picks & Sticks

I played at another benefit this weekend. This one was called "Chicks With Picks and Sticks" and proceeds went to benefit the Genesis House which is a shelter for battered women. It was held at the Savannah Bar & Grille. Some of the other acts who performed are: The Swamp Boogie Band, Becky Boyd, Telling Point, Robin Stone, Maura Rogers, Tracy Marie, Judy Wimmer, Alexis Antes, and G-Force.

While I was waiting to play my set, Juan and I had a little photoshoot. hehe. :)

Breastfest8

This past Saturday night was the 8th annual Breastfest. Breastfest is an annual concert and arts event which features local and regional female musicians and artists who contribute their talents to raise funds and help in the fight against breast cancer and those affected by this disease. This year, the event was held on October 4th at Brother's Lounge. Both my mom and I have been performing at Breastfest for a few years. This year, my mom did a blues set with The Bad Boys of Blues and I did a Songwriter in the Round with Robin Stone and Alexis Antes. It was a good time. In addition to those already mentioned, Tracy Marie, Kristine Jackson, Ki Allen, Cherylann Hawk, Brittany Davidson, Jackie Warren, Rachel Roberts, and Heidi Longhauer also performed this year.

Here are some pictures and a video clip.
