RESTLESS
Hello Friends,
I truly don't have much to say. I've started a new workout routine (by "a new" I basically mean "a"), I've been recording BGVS for some exciting projects/artists, and writing a little, but that is pretty much it. This month, my pandemic restlessness finally kicked in. It really feels like groundhog day over here. Wake up, make the coffee, mostly the same stuff happens during the day, and then I'm back in bed. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Happy, grateful to be safe -- but I feel kind of blank. Trying to stay in gratitude.
I certainly have so much to be thankful for during this time, including EXCEEDING our goal of reaching 90 patrons by November 1st. We hit 104 on Sunday! I'm working on putting some things in motion to bring y'all more music, including building a new live stream series. More TBA.
I've got several super fun shows coming up for y'all starting tomorrow with a Halloween themed live stream with BettySoo and Bonnie Whitmore. Each stream has its own unique spin (including a 360º Virtual Reality show), so I hope you'll be able to stop by.
How are y'all doing? Are you restless? How are you keeping things interesting? I love hearing from you, so please feel free to respond to this email. I'd love to know what is going on in your life.
Love,
Jaimee

WHAT I'M DIGGING
Social Distance on Netflix, Mary and I stayed up until 2 AM binge-watching this show. Get ready for a wide range of feelings. It's fantastic.
The Trial of the Chicago 7, There were so many moments I found myself screaming at the screen, but man is this good. I highly suggest watching the whole film and then looking up the cast. I had that "hmm...this guy looks kind of familiar but I can't figure out where I know him from..." Mind blown. I'll just give you one: Twisty the Clown.
