i hope you all are doing well & enjoying your days.
as many of you know, there are three big shows coming up that i'm organizing or helping to put together, for seaweedsway, noise pop, and chasing the moon, so i'm writing about those first. please come to all of them!! or at least a couple. :) or one if possible. the whole list of events & some other announcements are below this.
This Sunday, tomorrow, February 21st is the next SeaweedSway Showcase at the Make-Out Room, this month featuring Stitchcraft, Kirk Hamilton, the Nice Guy Trio, with our favorite host Jeremy Dalmas. this is happening a day after my birthday (do the math - ha!), so i hope to celebrate w/ folks there, as well as for any other february birthdays, or for any reason really. yes, i'm using the birthday card, but it's for good reason. it's going to be a fun night of jazzy, folk-y, super music. also, it's also going to be a potluck! you get $2 off of admission (so $6 instead of $8 if you bring food). yum! & yes! (If you're feeling extra motivated, you can go hear Kacey Johansing at the Hemlock at 6:00, then head over to the SeaweedSway show w/ her!)
then, Friday February 26th is a crazy wonderful show for Noise Pop where the choir I'm in, Conspiracy of Venus, will be opening for John Vanderslice, Nurses (from Portland), & Honeycomb. there's a raffle with sweet giveaways for those who get tickets in advance. this will be the official Honeycomb EP release as well. oh yeah, and the choir is going to sing on a song with John Vanderslice. AND, perhaps most important of all, it is a Sønderkåsten Celebration - to mark the 156th anniversary of Sønderkåsten, the celebration of Sweden's independence from the tyranny of Danish rule. There will be complementary treats & sweets galore, featuring traditional Swedish goodies.
if you have any energy left, the next night, or if you have no energy and would like to recharge the night before the full moon, we invite you to come to the Chasing the Moon show, Saturday February 27th, w/ Silian Rail, Devotionals, & Rumspringa (LA), premiering the new podcast episode with Kelly McFarling's music, at Viracocha. details for all these shows are below.
last announcement/reminder for now, is that i'm teaching yoga regularly now on fridays & saturdays at the yoga loft. 11-12:30 on fridays is restorative yoga, and 12:45-2pm on saturdays is a gentle hatha yoga class. they are each $10 to attend. please do come if you can. caretakers house yoga is now on the 1st & 3rd tuesdays of the month. please check http://seaweedswayyoga.blogspot.com for details.
for those who are new to this list or haven't quite figured out what this email is all about, it is a semi-weekly email of SF Bay Area Community Music, Yoga, & Nature events & news.

Come to the 5th SeaweedSway Showcase with
STITCHCRAFT
http://stitchcraftmusic.com
"StitchCraft is a winding tale of chasing kites and sewing seeds in the soil and the stories that blow and grow life into our lyrical bodies. Our community creates the music that we absorb and reflect back with insistence and intensity. Our stories spin and sail into each other’s to create patchworks of meaning - like the quilts that comfort us in the face of inevitable loss - like the soup that feeds our hungry ghosts; we honor the participation of the player, the muse, and the audience in their dance with life, death, adventure and self realization. Music is a lover and a healer to all of us."
KIRK HAMILTON
http://myspace.com/kirkhamilto
Kirk will be performing with a large acoustic group, featuring Dan Apczynski and Lindsay Garfield (from Or, The Whale) on vocals, Marguerete Ostro (Kugelplex, Pickpocket Ensemble) on violin, a full rhythm section and, of course, his trusty homemade Armelodica(TM). They'll be performing music from his debut album, "The Exited Door," harmony-laden chamber-pop that Incendiary Magazine calls "so impeccably put together and so effortlessly charming that you’ll be willing to follow it wherever the hell it wants to take you."
NICE GUY TRIO
http://myspace.com/niceguytrio
"This ragtag band of street poets would sound at home under a Montmartre streetlamp. Daniel Fabricant’s susurrant bass, Rob Reich’s apache dancer squeeze-box and Darren Johnston’s half-valve circus trumpet saunter through cobbled rambling see-saw ditties, mascara-ed and striking poses for a post-Godard film." - Fred Bouchard, Downbeat Magazine

"Full Snow Moon - February Since the heaviest snow usually falls during this month, native tribes of the north and east most often called February's full Moon the Full Snow Moon. Some tribes also referred to this Moon as the Full Hunger Moon, since harsh weather conditions in their areas made hunting very difficult."
