I love making music and art, and I love living in a city surrounded by others who love making music and art. I love ALL of the creative expression that happens in our city. Its such an active. inspiring, supportive, encouraging, loving place to live. And its gorgeous! I love how beautifully green our city is. I love the plants, trees, flowers, rivers and the clean air. I even love the rain. It encourages me to stay inside and make music. 
Please join me for this super fun night of music, dance and art!

“when language runs dry: “A zine for people with chronic pain and their allies.” A variety of contributors share their own or their loved ones’ chronic pain stories, offering a window into the issues chronic pain sufferers face such as trouble with self-identity, depression, frustration from loved ones and friends, and doctors ignoring a sufferer’s truth about his/her own body. Moving and heartfelt, this zine helps build a bridge of understanding and empathy between sufferers and non-sufferers. Color cover with illustrations throughout.” -Anu
