Putting the finishing touches on the next single... Some extra vocals in the last chorus. Not sure yet if they'll stay, but we shall see! It's another more upbeat track, and I'm excited to finish it up. The remixes are amazing - can't wait for everyone to hear them :)

I have been slowly typing out the lyrics to all the songs from "Tonight The Angels" for the liner notes that will accompany the CD release this June. The typewriter I'm using is an Italian Underwood Olivetti Lettera 22. It's just right for this project because the strikers are perfectly imperfect, and the overall look is really wonderful. It's something that just can't be replicated with a font - as cool as it may look, it always ends up looking like... a font. Using the typewriter has, however, made it painfully clear that I'm a really bad typer, and has made me even more thankful for my delete key and for spellcheck! I have a newfound respect for anyone who has or still does use a typewriter on a regular basis. It's not easy!

There's a really cool paper store in Ann Arbor, Michigan, called Hollanders. I made this book from a kit they have that included the pages, book board and fabric to construct the book. It was so much fun! I may be making a few more of these in the near future... :)
The Great Blizzard of 2011! This was the view out the window this morning. It's the most beautiful frost I've ever seen :)
