Dear Friends,
Saturday is Winter Solstice Eve!
What does that mean to you?
I'm seeing it as a renewed start, an emergence into our new selves, with the lessons of the past.
And for this show, I am happy to have a community gathering, which I feel is especially important at this time on the planet.
With music! 😅
Please join me at this early show, where I'll be singing with Conspiracy of Venus.
(I also booked the show & love the Make-Out Room, so your attendance is extra appreciated!) :)
