Recital! June 20th, 2008!!

It's the moment I know you've all been waiting for... it's time for another recital! This time however my friend Ken Ryals, a terribly talented baritone will join me and help redeem the experience! It'll be at the First UU Church again, and there will be more details to follow in a later posting. Just mark your calendar!

Small town girl makes good in the big city!

Hey ya'll!

Just got back from Chicago... such a great city! Holy sheise! There was SO much to do, SO much to see and SO many good times to be had... needless to say, I did as many of those things as I could and came back simultaneously exhausted and refreshed (if that makes any kind of sense).

Here a few pictures from my adventures, a big thank you to Lauren and Joachim for hosting me... they have a lovely apartment on the northwest side, and it was a great place to come home to after a long day of sightseeing.

Peace 'n Hair Grease,

P.S.- Despite Chicago being on a grid, my ass got lost so many times... it took me a while to figure it out, but I think it's a flatness issue! I've never been somewhere so flat... can I get a mountain range or something? That would be rad, thanks.

Laurnish at a bar... imagine that.

Saw some high art at the art museum... and I thought she had a cool face.

Crazy reflections from 'The Bean'!

'The Bean' from another angle, this time with the Chicago skyline in the background.

My Chicago family, Mary and cousin Charlie!

Joachim!!!

My great-aunt Nora... also a singer!

Hmmmmm... Chicago deep dish. ONE piece, that's all it takes!

Millennium Park, a beautiful urban oasis... and rad ass concert venue.

Lauren living the good life in Greek town.

Some of my all time favorite buildings in Chicago.
