nine elven

sorry for the lack of email. we moved to Vergennes VT this summer, and I got a new job- all good & busy non-musical happenings. But it also did make me rethink the monthly updates- for the time being I will probably do them either 1) when i remember or 2) when I have a bunch of stuff coming up.

Update on Gong:

Thanks to the donations of many people (especially my Uncle Tom) I was able to purchase a beautiful 38" chau gong, and I have started to do some relaxation/gong bath sessions. To pay-it-forward & show my appreciation to the world, I will be doing pro-bono sessions for recovery, lgbtq+ and fat-acceptance organizations for the foreseeable future. I also offer very cheap rates for individuals or other organizations/groups. hit me up at the Gong Traveler for more info.

3 hOUr DruM:

Join me at 2:30p on Saturday, November 11 for my next performance: 3 hOUr DruM. I will be playing drums and percussion items of all kinds for (get this) 3 hours. Come and go as you please, bring the kiddos, queer & fat people to the front, accessible except for a real pain in the ass bathroom situation. more info here.
