a wayward waif wandering the wide world, happily lost somewhere between the music conservatory, the arboretum, and the road house. with a violin.

saw you with 2fy at UCSD a few years ago and that particular show really stuck with me. I am fortune enough to study music with amazing musicians here at UCSD, but your blend of song and chamber music has really inspired me despite only seeing you perform once. I hope to see you perform sometime soon.
Heeeey, Carla - it’s been a while :) - and how are you, hope things are good, are they?... Listen, I have a favor to ask you, could I? Since my picture won at the monthly level & Round 1, I got nominated for the LongHair Hawtie of the Year. Round 2 (Finals!) ends in a few days and... - was hoping for those 6 votes from you ;)
So... this is where you would cast a vote

Just look for this picture on the last row:
And these are the rules on how to 'do it' ...
Yeah, you do need to get accepted as a friend before you can vote, but they’re nice girls (the hawtie folks), no harm whatsoever :)
Thank you so much already,
In appreciation,
- Armand
PS. a very 'evil' thought - maybe you can tell your friends to vote too? ;)
Hi! My wife introduced me to Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. We saw you in NYC earlier this year. I got a torrent of you in Italy on radio which I think is also earlier this year, performing with 2 Foot Yard. Intrigued and hearing you mention CDBaby.com as source for 2 Foot Yard, I now have "Borrowed Arms" and "Minamo" (with Satoko Fujii) in heavy rotation. "Ravish..." sits nearby, still wrapped awaiting its turn to twist my cranial lobes. As John French says, "GreeAte Stufffff!"
