And then...

Mia Dyson, her amazing band consisting of Erin Sydney, Zac Clark, Lee Pardini and sound master Jason Drenkow pictured here with the our Mayor Adriana, her husband John, Rienhardt from Germany, and the bright light Melissa Reaves.

Well... if I said I was not blown away by these folks, I'd be lying. Great humans, all around and the an event in my town that really touched me and a bunch of others. My gratitude is beyond words, new friendships have begun, I learned a whole bunch about things I need to do to get better at doing events, I am finding my balance point, and I am ready for what's next.

And that is SXSW.

At least I think I am ready. I have to pack tonight and go up to Tucson tomorrow for a veeeery early flight out Tuesday.  Happy I get to see this band at the MPress Records event on Saturday, and super ready to see my friends Rachael Sage and Meredith Tarr for this next week in Austin. These are two of my fave humans and I am honored to have a chance to help out.
