2/11/10: Big Stinkin' News!!

I am going to be playing at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on Saturday, March 13th! This is the gig of a lifetime, so I definitely hope to bring a big crowd so I can use that phrase again! I'll be playing at the Wine Garden, which is located in Carruth Plaza in the area in between the Dome, Reliant Stadium and Reliant Arena. Gig runs from 5-8pm. Admission is free with paid admission to the Rodeo for that day (grounds ticket will suffice). Can't wait to see y'all there!!!

In honor of Women's History Month, they have asked 31 women to guest blog each day in March. The theme is "Celebrating You."
