The ice cream social/Christmas show is over!  Thanks again to everyone who helped out. We couldn't have done it without you - literally (Jeff Bradley, Sachi Maeda, and Jena Swarick).  And thanks to everyone who attended.  It meant so much to us.  It really did. 

We love Fremont Centre Theatre for their open doors for us and just the ambience it helps us create.  We also loved just the supportive people who encourage us in our journey, and hopefully we encourage you in your journey. 

It seems like this Christmas is a difficult Christmas for many folks - both far and close to us. A lot of bad news being heard and just difficult times still economically for folks. It's a reminder to us of what we should really be thankful for and what we should really be striving for. 

Both of us have already celebrated Christmas with families who came and visited us earlier in December. It ushered in the Christmas season earlier and was a lot of fun! 

But before Christmas week rolls in ... we will be playing in Lestat's in San Diego on Friday, DEC 21!  See you guys there @ 8pm!

As many of you know, our guitar was stolen a couple years ago.  Well, Jane finally decided to buckle down and buy a new guitar. She bought a half baby Taylor a year and a half ago and started making no interest monthly payments on it. We have rehearsed with the guitar but never used it in a show because we didn't get a plug-in for it yet. 

Well, there are now only 3 more payments left until the guitar is paid off! Woohoo! And we got a plug in installed for this little guitar. And then.......... Jane dropped it. Cracking it. 

The utter despair, shame, anger, and just horrible feelings is indescribable.  

Well, fortunately, the crack (although it was substantial) was able to be fixed at a "reasonable" price and we have finally rehearsed with it plugged in.  It sounds good.  

A horrible experience. But Jane has now learned that as annoying as it is, she now has to take two trips from her car to her apartment to carry her guitar, cello, work tote bag, and laundry. Otherwise it is inevitable that things will fall. And break.

Where has the time flown?  We have seriously neglected our blog ~ but to the suggestion of some friends we would really like to make it our goal to stay updated on our blog.  In a world where the internet is king and everybody blogs and uses Facebook & Twitter, we are seriously old skool! 

To update what has been going on these past few months after our CD release show in June of 2012, has been this... busy with shows! We have been very busy doing a lot of shows in the Fall.  November was busy with a lot of family stuff and traveling.  Aaron traveled to Reno, Jane traveled to South Korea. A new member joined the band... namely a little dwarf rabbit! We named him/her (too young yet to quite tell...it's a bunny thing) Hershey because he is milk chocolatey in color. 

Now we are back in the Los Angeles area trying to prepare for our show! We found a new drummer that we have to rehearse with as our old drummer moved to Texas. We have been working through some new material in anticipation of a potential new album next year. Hopefully we will be able to share one new song with you at our December show.  

Here's the new info for our upcoming show.
