Still down in the holler...

HAPPY AUTUMN EVERYONE. 

Here I am still, in the little log cabin in the mountains. Never did make it down to Asheville due to unfortunate amounts of hurricaning. Instead, we decided to stay here and make sure the roof didn't blow off from one of the dozens of tornados that touched down in the area. It would have been truly tragique if we came home to kittens in the land of Oz. I have been making good with my "time off" by working like crazy. Have been designing posters and flyers for gigs and practicing praticing practicing like a total nerd. My dad (because he's the best) found me a Learn How to Play Flamenco Guitar DVD set from Homespun Tapes. It rocks, and I'm learning tons. Just wait till I put on my Flamenco shoes with the clickety-clacks and begin singing, playing and dancing all at once... Yeow! Can't wait.

We're having an Equinox bonfire party this eve. Too bad yer all so far away!!! xox

 
Kristin will be showcasing at the upcoming
NEMO Music Festival in Boston.

Sperryville, Virginia

It is always so very beautiful here I can hardly believe it. I have been getting lots of sleep and having an attempt-at vacation. I'm trying to relax but there is so much rushing around the brain and things to do and songs to write and packages to mail off to yonder land... I have been hiking up to the Hazel River and getting at least a wee bit of excellent exercise. My friend Jenny's neighbour Eric taught us how to blow glass with a big flamey furnace and big metal poles and we made with the blowing and stirring of molten liquid... very cool. I made a little mangled shot glass. photos coming soon!!!. In other news, I sent off a promotional package to the music editor of Buffy the other day... Leaving for Vermont tomorrow with the cows and the green rolly hills and the pretty red barns.

Too bad it's supposed to hurricane all day.
