Hi! WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
- I got my first vaccine shot. Feeling many things about it.
- I finished up an online music recording class with She Rock She Rock. They are a fantastic organization.. go!
- Finished up teaching a beautiful level 201 improv class online with HUGE Theater.
- Overview Effect competed in a 3 on 3 International Improv tournament through Queen City Comedy! We did not win, but I am proud of what we did (it was very different from what the very funny other teams brought). Plus, we were all cold and felt badass about it. Check us out starting around 01:06:00.. <3
- A Little Bit of Show X continues to fill the soul.
- The Bakken Museum is now offering online classes! I've taught some sound and some Mary Shelley.
- Got to coach the second iteration of HUGE's Duo for a Day!
- I went in and had my first in-person memoir session in over a year, with memory care residents at Abiitan Mill City. Incredibly lucky.
- My eldest kid turned 8! We were blessed with an incredibly warm Saturday and people with nothing to do! I should have made more cake!?
- I am doing an at-home practice. It involves a ukulele, songwriting, and singing. I write to have songs to sing, and then I practice singing to sing those songs better. It's cyclical. I'm figuring out how best to share these songs, while pausing the practice enough to record them in their not-perfectness.
(The songs are *mostly* based off of prompts from the wonderful Laura Vier's cards.. I hope she makes more soon!)
The current goal with these songs is a porchfest. But to have the songs online so when/if a porchfest happens, I can say something sly like "check out my soundcloud" or "here's my bandcamp" or "MY GOD HAVE YOU WATCHED STEVEN UNIVERSE?"
That means recording the songs. That means.. a lot of things. But mostly it means singing and playing ukulele.
Does it sound like a 45 year old who maybe has watched a LOT of Steven Universe the last two months? MAYBE. Hey Jen, how's that finger picking? NOT THERE I'M HERE FOR STRUMMING THANK YOU.
Anywhoo. The beginning of April looks busier than I've experienced in over a year! WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
Love and miss you, as always.
