Bear-Hug Welcome Homes

dear cubs and grizzlies,

i write to you feeling so very welcomed in my new home city. it's quite a wonderful feeling. i've got all the performing offers i could ever want, and i've found a job to pay the bills, too. my room is coming along fabulously, my social life has increased ten-fold... i feel very blessed. i've got FOUR solo gigs lined up in the coming months, as well as jaggery shows and happenings. crazy. my eyebrows are still magenta from a jaggery videoshoot yesterday involving a colored powder dinner party/food fight inspired by the Hindu Holi Festival of Colors. life is good. life is full. come help me celebrate the goodness of life with hand clapping and after-show hugs!

color bursts bold and bright,
petaluma
