crysthewolfI will be joining forces with Katt McConnell on Saturday, October 2nd, to go busking in Broad Ripple. We will more than likely be somewhere near the Rainbow Bridge on Guilford Avenue, or we’ll find a cozy spot along the Monon where we’re not too in the way. If you come looking and don’t find us right away I’d suggest wandering around the Ripple and following the sound of the Super Seagull guitar… or the lovely fiery-haired soprano making all the passers-by swoon and stuff.
We should be getting there by around 3:00pm but might not be set up and actually playing/singing until around 3:30pm to 4:00pm. We’ll stick around probably until we’re tired, we’ll see. This is kindof an experiment so it’s tough to say just what will happen. And of course if there is a big horde around us we will probably be in the way of other folk trying to get from one place or another and get into trouble, so please feel free to come by and say hello if you happen to be in the area (or if you’d REALLY like to PUT yourself in the area, that’d be awesome), but please be respectful of the neighborhood and try not to treat it like the street is a concert hall. 
We don’t want to be pests. =)
Also if you’d like to assist in carrying things or help hand out flyers for the show on October 8th please feel free to email me. Again, I don’t want to have a horde of people hanging out on the street and we will have very specific rules about how things are to be distributed so as not to get into any trouble with the locals, so please be respectful of that. There’s a fine line between busking and panhandling/soliciting and I’d REALLY prefer to stay on the busking side of it.
Hope to see you there, at least in passing!
Much love,
Crystal

She's a folk artist, with a healthy touch of lots of other stuff thrown in where necessary for good measure. She's not nearly as niche as filk is....and I want to write like that. I just need to figure out how to do that, because, for some reason, I keep telling myself I'm not a good songwriter.
So basically I'm having some growing pains. I feel like it's time to leave the musical cocoon I've been hiding inside for years and years, but I'm not sure how to go about tearing down the walls.

And you're my friend so one could say I'm biased, but how I feel about you personally has no real bearing on how I feel about your music. Granted I'd be willing to give it more of a CHANCE if I know you, but I'm also a music snob.

Date: 2010-09-28 08:26 pm (UTC)Oo, BTW, Liz says she's in. But I have no idea about anything other than that--if she'd be riding with us, when she'd be leaving, that sort of thing.
