Phew!

Went to the Ali Sperry & Betsy Huebner concert tonight, thanks to selling one box of tea and taking on a bracelet repair that my brother refused at the Farmer's Market. I even have $2 left! Wheee. Tuesday can't come fast enough, my goodness. Not that I'll have MUCH left afterwards, seeing as I still need to pay off my plane ticket from the big trip, but luckily there is a special offer going on one of our credit cards that we never use of 0 percent on balance transfers for 6 months, so I shifted my excess over to that, which should help me pay it off faster.

The concert was really sweet and inspiring, though I couldn't help but notice that a large percentage of Betsy's songs involved drugs or dissed boys in some way, or were a bit heavy/depressing, while Ali's songs for the most part were happier, or love songs, and to top off that impression for me, Betsy was wearing black and a silver chain belt, while Ali was wearing white with yellow leg warmers and a sparkley headband. Don't get me wrong, they were both AWESOME, it was just something I noticed. :) Ali did another gorgeous original that she wrote for her boy. I told her I can't wait till she does a concert that's a flip of the ones she does now, where she'll do all originals and then one kick-ass cover. Her original stuff is so powerful, it has that little extra edge of connectedness that sets it just over the cover stuff she does so well.

She told me that *I* needed to do a show myself, which really is true. And I was glad that I was inspired by them to do a concert, rather than intimidated - which sometimes happens at these things. and I was a little worried about that happening because I had a meltdown day today. (Which I'm blaming on the full moon because it's not the right time in my cycle, and I do have werewolf tendencies where I turn into a raving monster for no apparent reason other than the moon. God bless G for sticking with me through it, even if he doesn't understand it at all. (heart)) I almost considered not going because I was feeling so raw, but I'm really, really glad I did.

I feel like there might be some new songs coming, what with the poetry class getting me writing artistically on a more regular basis. I was also having thoughts about asking Ali & David to perform with me! I don't know what their story is for stuff like that, I'm sure David doesn't work for free... I also don't know what the set up for the Cafe is anymore, I'm sure they need a cut. If I didn't actually need the $ myself I'd also think of donating it to KRUU.FM, but maybe there could be some sort of a split, OR "pass a hat" around midway like they did at the Adrien concert...
