She's Done It Again!

That Wendy Mullin! I just finished reading Sew U: Home Stretch and am completely ready to transform my t-shirt drawer. Too bad I hadn't read this book before dropping a good amount of money on vintage patterns. I'm all for the styles of the '60s and '70s, but they're not things I wear every day. T-shirts, sister. That's what I wear every day.

Just like the first Sew U book, this one contains 3 patterns and several ideas for customizing each. I've got so many t-shirts that are too small or too tattered, but are also too sentimental to part with. Now I'm armed with ideas and raw materials. Scissors, here I come!

Even More ROXCETERA!

This Thursday! September 18th! ROXCETERA, PISTIL and TIN STAR!
CCB Plaza (Downtown) -- 5:30-7:30pm

We were rained-out last time, but it looks like tomorrow's skies will be clear and sunny. We're really excited to be performing with Pistil and Tin Star. Why don't you come on out and enjoy a perfectly beautiful afternoon outdoors ... and get your keister rocked off while you're at it! You know you want to.

Fall Garden

Yesterday, we embarked on another garden "first" - the fall/winter garden. It's still hard to wrap my Minnesota brain around the fact that green things can grow during the winter, but I'm prepared to give it a shot.

I pulled most of our now-raggedy tomatoes (many of them volunteers from last year) to make room for the fall/winter crop. Our SunGold has seen better days, but that thing refuses to die so I couldn't rip it out. As per usual, I went a little overboard at our friendly, local garden store.

Romaine & red leaf lettuce, spinach, collards & carrots - oh my!

We'd still like to plant some garlic & onions, but will have to wait until the rest of the summer crop fades. I'm double-pumped! Now if I can just make them grow ...

Sex, Drugs, ROXCETERA!

This Saturday - September 6 - Roxcetera will join the cast of "Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll" for a special performance at Common Ground Theatre in Durham. The play features several monologues and Roxcetera will perform live throughout the show. It's gonna rock, y'all - and the Indy thinks so, too. Check out the feature in "8 Days A Week!"

Visit the Common Ground website for more details and ticket information. Several other local bands will be featured on subsequent nights, so even if you can't make Roxcetera's show (and you'll be kicking yourselves, fo' sho'), try to support one of the other great local acts!

Join us on Saturday for THE ROCK!
