I got word today that I can hold a knit in from 6-7pm or so before our CD release party (which starts officially at 7pm) at Magdalenas this Sunday. Local knitting friends, please spread the word or at least bring your own knitting and join me. I will give a free Fabulous Heftones bumper sticker to each knitter.

Remember that Magdalena’s has a great new kitchen. They have really great frozen-fruit smoothies, baked goods, salads, quiche and what they call raw soup (think gazpacho but not always with tomato base) which gets rave reviews from those who try it. They buy organic produce from local farmers. They are worthy of supporting with our business, my friends!

The focus of the evening will be a concert, where Brian and I will perform the 14 songs on the CD in the order in which they were recorded. The rest of the evening is for fun, frolic, music and of course selling a few CDs to those who wish one. There is a $6 cover which will support Magdalena’s.

Also, we will hold a jam session after the formal part of our CD-Release concert, so bring instruments… guitars, ukuleles, kazoos or maracas or a quiet drum. If there is such a thing as a quiet drum, that is… There are neighbors living upstairs so we try to be respectful even as we make joyful noises!

If you are in town and looking for a fun time, come on down. We have fans from age 4 to retiree… the music is timeless/ageless. Bring a friend and join us, if you will.

Bring yarn, bring instruments, bring friends, bring knitting, bring a great big smile on your face. We’re really looking forward to this event.
