Hey kristen! Looks like I wont be seeing you before your off to Chicago. Have fun in chicago! I'll have to grab your CD when you get back =[! I guess I am just gonna have to wait, sad. =[ I hope I can get it before The show at Barts, but it is what it is. Oh! And I will sooo be at the Yellow Sofa on December 11th! =] Keep rockin' on Kfo!!!
Kristen Ford! How the hell can I get your CD.... Like ASAP! =]] I am like beyond eager! =D And I super can't wait for some shows in Western Mass yo! Yay! Dov
Kristen Ford! You know that we're ALWAYS down for playing a show with you! ALWAYS! =] The only thing I (Dov) can think of right now for Local venues would be Bart's Cafe in Greenfield. They do local shows, usually acoustic, and if not acoustic... then "quiet shows" (like quiet drumming and all.) Here is the own's email address, he'd be the one to contact for the show. It'd probably be a week night. al.bartscafe@crocker.com The owner's name is Alan Sax. I am sure you guys could totally work something out. And you know that me, Emily and Adina would be there in a second! =] Rock on Kfo! Have fun in Chicago! See you soon fersher!
Yeah Still doing my thing here in the city and around the Northeast...Heading out west for a mini tour this October...No Chicago this time though...stay in touch..
yeah, i feel WICKED SMAAAATTTT!!! Glad to hear the recording is turning you into an enlightened being. Well, the Sofa is booked through March right now, but I'll plug you/us in if there are any cancellations. However, you can be a featured act for the open mic (we have hosts now and shttufff.) I'll work my magic for you girl! Yes, let's hang, I'm not working tonight for once (Sat.) We should chill for sure! Call you.
what's going on here... are you moving back to Chicago or something? Because by the looks of your gig list, it is telling me yes. ???. How's the recording going? Sorry I couldn't make it the other night for din-din. I'm a school nerd right now. I'll try to make my merry/marry (?) way up to IMA soon. Or we should just hang out sometime, but then again I'm a flake-out when it comes to having a social life. Anyways....
Heyyyy kfo!! We're currently together at Dov's house, we went over our set quite a few times and currently writing a new song that was inspired by both "Sailor" and "Sky Factory"! We really hope you can come to the Hungry Ghost on the 21st at 2. And better yet.... Play bass with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let us know if you wanna! Are you recording on the weekend or no? Let us know Kristen!! And keep rockin' on!!! -The Feel
How's it going? Oh I like the new demo so I guess you're already busy recording stuff! Haha I listen to Time Is Tight alot and we already taught the other Jacks how to play.. It reminds me of the good ol' times at IMA.
Have fun recording and say hi to June & Ann for me!
Goddamn right we're the kings and queens of the sky factory! I can't find the film roll from that day. I'm on the hunt though. Love the new song. Hope all is well
