Attention LAistas!
I'll be in town Sunday, June 18th to Thursday, June 22d. Sunday and Monday are free, and Tuesday/Wednesday evening currently are free, but that is subject to change.
I'd love to get together with as many of you as possible. Shall we take this to the F2F thread?

Northeastistas...I will be in CT from June 20th-28th. I have pretty intense family obligations but can probably sneak away for a day sometime in that window--probably towards the end of that week. Of course I have forces pulling me in two directions...New York and Boston. What to do! Any way we could meet somewhere in the middle?
Continued in F2F thread.
My mother's mother suddenly passed away this morning. My family's relationship with her was strained, but I'm sure it must be hard for my mom nonetheless. Any ~ma for my mom would be appreciated.

Oh, good lord. I know better than to natter here. Sorry!
I've an interview this afternoon for a job that would really keep me going while I write my dissertation. Any job-ma floating spare would be very much appreciated.
I need to get an article from the Wall Street Journal website. Anyone have a password I can use? Email me at the profile address if you are feeling generous...
I went from gray to black without really meaning to. I've been busy with the new job and trying to resist the temptation of netting during work. It's so daunting trying to catch up with all the posts when I get home that I haven't been doing it. Hope to be more active again in a while. (Didja miss me?)
Anyway, my biggest gig yet (from a venue perspective) is tonight. I'm part of Uke-y Stardust and we're playing the Fillmore Lounge during The Fiery Furnaces show tonight. We go on at 8pm and play for an hour before Man Man hit the main stage. Then we play for 45 min. between Man Man and The Fiery Furnaces. If you happen to be at the show, say hi. I'll be wearing my Wonder Woman corset so I won't be hard to spot.
