"we like a like to make it in the sunshine, don't care who knows"-jo serrapere

so things are moving forward. the various lists are being updated and crossed off. as usual i am still reeling from an eventful weekend. i can't wait to have a more balanced life with less extremes.

i had a great time on friday night at brothers drake meadery. (http://www.brothersdrake.com/) I got to hear great music from my good friend Andyman Hopkins (http://www.reverbnation.com/andymanhopkins) and some other local heros. despite eric having a gig in chicago, i found some lively dancing partners. great fun. i did some chores on saturday morning, but then it was off to pick up eric from the bus station. i collected my little goat-bear and we went directly to columbus' first 'sexaplooza'. i wish i could write more regarding it, but we weren't that impressed. somehow a conference about sex is hardly sexy. ya know? then on to prepping for the main event of the weekend: the fifth annual chocolate party. it never disappoints.

this year, local val glenn of 'time and temperature' opened the fiesta. check her out http://timeandtemperature.bandcamp.com/ she is fantastic!

the food is always off the hook crazy town. eric nassau's dream cuisine. there is a special buzz in the air i like to refer to as 'chocolate high'. it is real. and it is enjoyable.

so many great people in eric's house. lots of eating and visiting.

then for the lovely 'jo serrapere trio' who came to be with us from deerborn, mi. jo, her partner john, and the luscious laura round out the band. musically wonderful, it is the harmonies that blow your mind. covering many genres, i think they have something for everyone. the room was packed and the audience attentive. every singer/songwriters dream! so glad we could give them that...

it was a magical evening indeed.

then, back to work. the countdown is at a week from this very day. it is starting to hit me today, i feel contaminated with a severe case of senioritis. trying to wrap up my projects, but mainly trying to organize all the details of my real life! the one i am about to start really living. so. excited. with that beginning, i host my first couch surfer tonight!  a seemingly nice young man from kansas. he just so happens to be a traveling musician. surprisingly, eric had nothing to do with this. and i swear, it doesn't even say anything about music on my cs profile. they just find me, ya know?
