A quick update: we’re playing the Zuppa Circus fundraiser again this year. Last year was so amazing—The Music Room is an astoundingly beautiful venue, sonically and aesthetically. This year promises to be even more fun, partly because Gypsophila are playing, and who among us, Haligonians, does not feel fortunate every day to have this achingly good music in our midst? David couldn’t join us last year but will be there this year, and we are carefully selecting our songs to fit the theme: Songs for the End of the World. Tickets are cheap for what you’re getting and there’s a hot silent auction and creepy masks and Ruth Minnikin and the Heavy Blinkers and Ryan McGrath and more, and also, also, of course, Zuppa Circus themselves will be singing songs from their Poor Boy show, and releasing the CD of music from that show. ALL IN ONE NIGHT, IN ONE ROOM. I know. Astounding.

p.s. The HPX show was electric. Not literally, mostly, but on the ears and skin.
