***tour updates at end of post***
Here is a pic of Paul Baribeau, Matt Tobey, and Me playing at the Spirit Awards.
Matt has put his Matty Pop Chart thing on hold for now for his new band Good Luck</p>.
Paul has a myspace page HERE.
My friend Heather Treadway re-made my dress out of an old dress I had. Her Etsy store is HERE.
On Sunday we went and had a show at Rhino Records in Claremont. I wasn't feeling well but for the most part it was still fun. It was just frustrating because during my set I explained that me and Panda had been sick and I didn't want for me or her to get sicker so I wouldn't be doing any hugging after my set and I just needed some space. Some people were really pushy though. It was frustrating. It's not like I don't want to hug people and take pictures. It's just that sometimes I have to be germ conscious. And sometimes I am tired and stressed out and just want to chill with Panda after I play. I hate having to be the asshole when someone keeps coming back, like 3 or 4 times, after I play a free show, and have kindly explained the situation. There were some kids who just didn't get it and when I finally kind of snapped and said "Please, give me space!" (I was with Panda) They were like "Do you know how many of your albums I own?" Jeez Louise. Some people. Give em an inch they want a mile.
I am not a dick. I was super tired and sick. Ugh.
I feel like to survive this next tour there is going to be a whole lot more chilling with Panda after I play. I bet some people are going to get mad and call me a sellout because of that too. It will be the first huge tour where I do all the driving. Ange drove in Europe last summer so I sat with Panda and could nurse her in the car. He doesn't have a US license though, so I will be driving many hours a day this time. By the time the shows are over at night I am just going to hang out with my baby. And I really hope we don't get sick. Oh man.
I would rather play and rest. Play and rest and make it through the trip. Than play and hug people for 2 hours and be exhausted and get sick and cancel shows. We'll see how it goes. If I have ease off the multihour post show hangouts for the sake of my wellness and my family I hope people can be understanding and respectful.
Blah.
After the Rhino show we were invited to an official Fox Searchlight Oscars viewing party, but opted to hang out at the home of our dear friends the Callacis instead.
They had DVRd the Spirit Awards so we watched that first. Then we watched the DVRd Oscars. We fast forwarded through a lot of it. Like all the montages and commercials. But during all of the songs from Enchantment it was a crazy sing along dance party, where new dances were invented such as the "Poop on Rael" dance, the "Step Over Rael" dance, the "Poop on Paul" dance, and the "How do you know?" dance.
I typically don't give a shit about these who is he best kinds of events, but I got busted getting weepy over Diablo's sweet speech.
Then we watched Barbara Walters. We replayed the clip of Vanessa Williams singing like 50 times so we could do the "Listen to the world, listen to the sky" dance.
Then we watched Barbara interview Ellen Page. The talked about The Moldy Peaches and how Barbara doesn't get it.
What's not to get?
We replayed some of her choicest nauseated facial expressions multiple times. We also filmed me and her face having a hum off.
And we replayed the end bit a bunch where she was dangerously close to showing snatch, in her high-slit gown, while she talked about how she wanted to sit upon the face of Harrison Ford.
Silly Babs. What's not to love?
So we danced more and sang a song and dance called "Don't Pinch My Balls".
It was the most fun I have had in a long time.
Now we are home for 6 days before this crazy ass tour....
