Um...and that's when we'll be driving.
Despite that, I would not trade sleep for the experience of Folk Alliance. It's incredibly inspiring to be around so many creative people making music, building relationships, learning, soaking it all in...
I've had the pleasure of driving up here and sharing the stage with the wonderful Vanessa Lively and we are kidnapping Gina Chavez and taking her back to Austin with us! I'm the only one of us three that doesn't have a bit of Spanish in my set. It's never something I thought I'd be doing but they'll have me singing backing vocals in Spanish for one of Vanessa's showcases. Sweet.
Ok, so, I think typing is making me sleepy again so, I'm going back to bed for a bit. Here are some pics from last night in the GoGirls room. We went from the wonderful GoGirls Showcase to the extraordinary "GoGirls presents: Live from Laura's Bed" with artists cozying up on my bed to share their final song. We even had some special visitors pop in. I didn't get pics of everyone because I got kind of spacey as the night wore on but here are some.
Thanks to all the people who "tuned in" online. GoGirls will be broadcasting each showcase from the room from 2-4pm and 10:30pm-2:30am. You can check out the lineup here: http://www.gogirlsmusic.com/fa11/
The direct link to watch it live on UStream is here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/gogirlsmusic . Showcases are archived so you can watch each artist from last night and even us being ridiculous at 3am.
Next time I'll be on will be Saturday night. I'm opening up the showcase at 10:30 with a set and closing it at 2:30am with the final showcase of the conference. You never know who will stop by so, check in with us.
