Hello All.

We had a nice little West Coast tour. All the audiences were fun and sweet. I cried a little behind my cello when Daniel led the Eugene crowd in singing happy birthday to me. I was so touched! I never had a birthday on the road before.

It was very fun to have Dawn Micelli with us, filming her documentary. She is, of course, a crack-up. Maybe the film will be available toward the end of the summer?

We went to a 'Repo the Genetic Opera' screening in Hollywood. It was very fun! They had performers a la Rocky Horror, I met my daughter's idol- Alexa Vega, and Rasp got introduced to the crowd. It was my first time seeing the movie. Although it's fairly gory, I thought it was great.

I am again offering a charity auction item to benefit Hawthorne Valley School. It's a 3 hour rock-cello lesson for any string instrument (excluding guitar!).

Although the Willow Tree Triptych sold out, I'm going to make some more and put them up on the crafts page next week. It's an edition of 100 total. I won't make anymore, nor put them on an album.

Well, I'll see you later,
Melora
