"Sideshow" will take place THIS weekend, September 29th to October 2nd, and is our very own underground arts celebration. Look at the schedule here. You may feel like your brain could explode with all that entertainment inertia.
Sorry, I have no consolation for you on that one. It might.
Stolen accordions, fire-eating, standup comedy. Annie Sellick. Never before seen theater. A 48 hour play with OPEN REHEARSALS ("its like the 48 hour film festival- you have to write and rehearse a short play in 48 hours based on the suggestions that you are given at the beginning of the competition!"). What things too see! What treasures to behold!
And I will be a lonely girl without your company at my set! I'll be on at 9:15 on the outdoor stage, which I believe is to be across from the Blackbox Theater on Compton (This will all take place in the Belmont/Bongo Java area). Single event passes are $10, full weekends are $25 (what a STEAL), and there is even a VIP option for $50. You can purchase tickets here.

Another matter I would like to discuss with you is that of this blog. Of all the promotional/social networking options available to an artist, I would like to make this my leading means of communication between you and me. Let me explain why.
1.) "Blog" is fun to say.
2.) If you hadn't noticed, I can be a little quiet when it comes to self-promotion, a hugely important task to an independent artist. I don't like feeling as though I'm only contacting people to come out to my shows. I love music because it connects me to other people. I want to consistently (don't read the dates of my other posts) and personally interact with those who so graciously support me.
3.) I want to share things that excite me- artists, new causes, local businesses, etc.- and for you to share them with me! We are swimming in a wealth of culture here in Nashville, most of which gets drowned out by the big music machine. Send me your art, your video links, your reviews, your show dates, or just the things you think deserve more attention.
And also, please keep reading, like it, post it, follow it, share it, comment on it. All that jazz. :)
Love,
Mandy
