Good morning friends, Grace is writing this one. Last night we played the Bistro and I was touched to meet people who had read our e-mails and decided to come. Many of you brought friends and family and I am truly grateful to have played for such an enthusiastic group. Special thanks to Claire and family (Kiery right?), Greg, Peter, Fawad, Leena, Ed, Bobby, Vic, Dave, Tom, Anna behind the bar, Dolly and the other Tom! I think there’s a lot of love in the band right now. After finding out everyone’s pet peeves we have settled in to happy adjustments, some of which are the following: let Whit watch sports and let Joe write the set list! I am very lucky to work so hard with my best friends. There are pics from the show in the Photos section, and I saw some flashes out there, so please e-mail me so I can add them to the album.

On the way to the show the band had a a deep discussion about the comparison between foot-binding and boob jobs in which I told them not to read the wiki article because it would just make you want to cry. Whit more accurately commented that boob jobs are more like corsets, which makes sense since the participants are seemingly old enough to want to alter their bodies. That was random, but the fine line between beauty and invasive society-pressured change has been on my mind because I just wrote a song about it and can’t wait to show you.

I also finished the latest video on the making of our next album, so check it out in the Video section. I also just found out that it is nearly impossible to rent a tiger in California, which derails one of my music video plans. This gets more fun and eccentric every day. Thanks for joining us! This weekend Whit and I will stay in Occidental and I may go bridal-dress shopping with cousins (we are going to sneak in cameras so that Whit’s mom can make a dress in the design that suits me best). I’m also cutting my hair really short tomorrow. And oh! I got into business school which I plan to take for one year to educate me before the band launches a grand-scale tour! And yes, I called this post “The Believer” because it is song we debuted with the full band last night, and of course it has a tiger in it, and I can’t wait to tighten it up. Thanks very much for reading this. How’s your weekend looking? -Grace
