Robin Hood
This past weekend was Robin Hood and it was fantastic!
The experience was too incredible for words. The cast, the audience, the music, the dance, the physical, the emotional. Many many thanks to Emily Oleson and the Good Foot Dance Company for inviting me to play with them
Also thanks to Amanda Balestrieri for her amazing voice and working with me to create our beautiful ‘Sacrament’ piece.

Budget Fashionista
I’m currently getting into fashion, thanks to How to Be a Budget Fashionista by Kathryn Finney, aka The Budget Fashionista [TBF]. It’s a fun read, and while I didn’t really need the budgeting advice, I definitely found the ‘fashionista’ parts inspiring. You may start to see me shopping out a bit more now…and maybe actually needing some of that budgeting advice ![]()
All these designers–I’d heard of them, never cared much to know who they were. It’s kind of fun researching and learning about them.
