I’ve been so insanely busy I haven’t been able to make a post in a while, so there’s going to be a bunch packed into one here…

If you missed it, the courier Journal ran a short bit in the Friday features about yours truly and Sub Rosa: The Gypsie Courtyard

Today’s news: RAIN! Lots of it! What a strange 24 hours it has been. The energy at Diamond’s last night was crazy strange and tense. There was a slow start to the night, followed by a few fights.  The full moon is in full swing. We’ve never had fights there before.  Then, I awoke this morning to what sounded like explosions. A HUGE thunderstorm was underway – monsoon! we had 6 inches of rain in 90 minutes.  When it let up, I left mys tudio to set off across town to pick up the kiddo.

Everywhere I turned roads were closed, or rivers had sprung up, blocking roads with unmeasured amounts of water. Those who dared try to cross them found themselves stuck. In other areas, cars floated down roads.  I worked through the city like a maze, turning here and there when I’d come to a blocked road.  I saw one car floating but completely submerged under an overpass with just the tip top of it sticking out above the water.  I finally mazed my way to a road leading to the expressway that was not blocked but was full of awful traffic.  The expressway in the direction I needed to go was complete stand still for miles and miles, so I and others backed down the ramp and headed the other way …I went all the way around the city and found myself where I needed to be.  Loaded up on groceries, picked up the kiddo, and am now holed up at a friend’s catching up on pc stuff instead of the meetings that were planned for today.

Whew! I am so grateful and blessed to be safe, dry and with my kiddo!

That’s it with my news for now, I think. I hope you’re all doing well and that your dreams are unfolding in beautiful ways. Be sure to update me

In addition to all this excitement, a dear friend of mine has been doing pretty well in a music competition:

please help  him stay at the top in the  contest: He’s a beautiful shining light, and his music deserves

You can vote TEN times for the song “Empower” by Tribe of Eden in each category!!!!! EVERY DAY!

here’s how you can help him:

Here are the steps one needs to take to join KIAC as a listener (it’s free) and thereby be able to vote. You will have 10 votes/day in each of the categories my song EMPOWER is entered — ROCK and HARD ROCK/METAL. The plan is to use ALL 10 VOTES for EMPOWER, in each category, once daily. That’s what will give me a fighting chance.
STEP ONE: Create a KIAC User Account
a. Go to this address – http://IACmusic.com/SubmitUser.aspx . Fill in the blanks and submit. TaDa you are done!
STEP TWO: Vote for BRY!
a. Once your KIAC User Account is active, you will see a list of destinations within KIAC at the top of your page – Signup, Login, Charts, Stations etc.
b. Click on “Stations”
C. On the “Stations” page you will find a list called “Contest 2009″
d. My song EMPOWER is entered in the “2009 Hard Rock/Metal Entries” and the “2009 Rock Entries”. Click on one to vote for EMPOWER in that category, then when you have cast all 10 votes for EMPOWER go back to the Stations page and repeat the voting process in the other category.
e. Let’s go through voting for EMPOWER at “2009 Rock Entries”. Click on it!
f. You will go to the 2009 Rock Entries page. Once there, notice a little icon under the word RADIO on the upper right part of the page. It says “sort by # of votes”. CLICK ON IT!
g. Now you will see all the songs in the contest, arranged by how many votes they have. If I do well, you will always see my picture and the song EMPOWER at or near the top of the list!
h. Vote 10 times for EMPOWER and you are done. Then return to the Stations Page, find the Hard Rock/Metal station and repeat the process.
i. You can do this once every 24 hours, but I’m not sure when they measure from.
THAT’S IT! These instructions will make it simple for your friends to go through the process. Once you have your own User Account, voting in both categories takes about 5 minutes/day.
