hello dear seaweedswayers,

i'm writing w/ news of the FULL MOON & thus Chasing the Moon show tomorrow night at the Blue Macaw(formerly 12 Galaxies). please do come! & below this event is a super duper exciting events list to look through w/ calendar in hand! lots of new shows announced!

for this moon, Indianna Hale is headlining, and we will premier Ramon & Jessica's Chasing the Moon podcast episode. Ramon & Jessica members Dina Maccabee & Jesse Olsen will also be showcasing some of their own songs (and Jesse will be releasing his album to SF!), plus french folk singer Helene Renaut will grace us with her songs to open the night. We hope you will join us for this magical evening of full moon music.

for those of you who are new to Chasing the Moon, it is a music video podcast featuring local bands, that comes out each full moon. Starting this year, I have been helping to put together a show on every full moon to premier the new Chasing the Moon episode and feature some great live bands.

here are the colorful details (then do read on for the events list, yoga classes, & housing/job list info):

From Indianna:
Howdy friends!
We have a show coming up! Live music to celebrate the chasing the moon podcast premiere of RAMON and JESSICA! The night will be wonderful! I'm feeling particularly cold these days, so I plan on playing sweet, slow cozy music. Joining me will be SLEEPY TODD, TOM EDLER, SEAN OLMSTEAD, & MATT ADAMS. soggy, warm, chocolate.

RAMON & JESSICA Chasing the Moon PODCAST PREMIER

http://myspace.com/ramonandjessica
"Ramon and Jessica is the alter-ego duo of songwriters Jesse Olsen and Dina Maccabee. The R&J collaboration has continued to evolve since its viola-and-casio-keyboard driven inception in 2003, but at the center of the RJ sound remain two constants: intertwining vocal harmonies and unmistakably quirky tunes."

HELENE RENAUT
Raised on the green and rocky coast of Brittany, France, Hélène Renaut now claims another coast, that of San Francisco, home. Live and on records, Hélène's music oscillates between gentle folk, British-influenced pop, and compositions that come closer to a song-poem. Listen and you will be met by a unique harmonic flair, poetic lyrics, and melodies that have been compared to "a paintbrush on figure skates" for their beautiful shapes - all delivered in an accomplished, yet heartrending French accented voice.
