The Carol Brunettes

Banding together with eight other friends, we formed The Carol Brunettes (reincarnated from our 2005 caroling group) to fundraise for the Pike Market Senior Center &  Downtown Food Bank - together, with your help, we raised nearly $1500!

We are still taking donations - won't you make a $10 donation to help us raise our total goal of $2000? We've had friends, colleagues and even people on twitter we haven't even met help raise money with us. Why not a blog reader?! Click here to donate!

It was a great experience and tons of fun - we even rewrote some familiar rock songs to be Christmas Carols - Santaria became Scroogeria (a very sublime version of The Christmas Carol), Bohemian Rhapsody became Reindeer Rhapsody ("he's just a poor deer with strange anatomy") and no re-write medley would be complete without a little Journey Don't Stop Believin' (complete with a Seattle Boy's xmas wish list). We did get some video, so will post youtube links soon.

Thanks to all who came out to support, whether attending the event itself, through donations, snuggie loans, etc.  An extra special thank you to all my gals, Somer, Elizabeth, Lisa, Leah, Carolyn, Lauren, Jen and Harmony who spent so much time and creativity to put this together!

It was a great experience but I decided that this year I've been so project heavy that it's now time for a  short break.

Though I had thought about putting together a variety show for February, I think I'm going to take the next few months and have my only projects really be through work and my side gig as Marketing & PR Director for Solo Performance Festival at Theatre off Jackson.  We're looking for a few interns for the marketing efforts, so if you know anyone interested, please let us know!

I plan on taking more time to enjoy my apartment and friends, get into meditation and other healthier ways of living in general.

That said, tune into the next entry for some fun upcoming events in town :) "Slowing down" in my world still involves a LOT of fun!
