Okay......first the U2 part.........
So Bam (my illustrious Brit hub for those of you who don't already know that) has designed several tshirts..quite rock n roll........anyway......one of them is a fave of mine.......All of My Heroes Are Dead and it's all these mad amazing skulls on it.......wait....see it here....(www.planetbubble.com/newz.htm) Last night.......some friends of ours were at the U2 concert. Bono asked their 5 year old son, Jack up on to the stage and asked his name and sang to him. Guess what tshirt Jack was wearing????????? Bam's Heroes Are Dead shirt! Is that crazy? So we are waiting for the photos...............
YARN AUDITIONS TODAY
Have you ever thought about what type of music yarn would play if it were human?
Here's my ramblings........
Rowan - Eric Clapton - stable, British, has been around a long time, always good quality, gets adventurous once in a while............
Crystal Palace - Aerosmith.......yep, I've named the whole band. Yankee fun good time rock n roll with some extreme yarns/colors and some stable hits too. Been around a very long time.
Colinette - Mick Jagger - Another Brit........flamboyant, expensive, high quality but oh so yummy......
Now........I could list Tom Jones for Colinette.......since they are made in Wales.......hmmmmm...It's Not Unusual....
Lion Brand - Bruce Springsteen - Okay, some of you might get mad at me for that one.......but the Boss is kinda on the stable, solid, no frills, nothin' fancy kinda rock n roll list. Could you have a yarn company that feels more American than Lion Brand? Could you have a rocker that feels more American than Bruce?
Alchemy Yarns - Another American for our line-up.......Macy Gray. Alchemy is all about color and intensity...Ms. Gray has that same edginess and wild streak. She just does what she does. And does it so well.
Sometimes, .........these are the thoughts that keep me awake at night. Makes no sense I know.
GIG
We got a gig tonight at the Cat Club on Sunset in West Hollywood......more info...
OH YEAH.........
And as if my life isn't full of chaos ........we're thinking of leaving LA. I have mixed emotions about it....but......reality is that the housing market here has gotten out of control!!!!!!! Where you may ask are we lookin'? Well...........if there's any of you readers/knitters (my pal Vickie Howell is there!) who live in Austin Texas........we'll be heading out there this year for a 'reconnaissance mission'. Been all over Craigslist checkin' out houses etc etc. Any and all input welcome.
Over and out from a truly mad post........................
