* NOVEMBER 3RD 2016 - Immersion & Andy Kaufman 
Those who know me, know that I love Andy Kaufman and although I wasn't alive to witness his performance art, I have consumed as much as I can via YouTube and reading a plethora of stories and articles. He broke the norm and pushed the limits in his craft. I'm knee deep into my next project and at times I've wanted to hide and altogether quit. But I'm reminded that it's a process. And what fun is creating art if it lacks exploration and experimentation? 

So I basically started my own choir. It's called From Those Who Follow the Echoes. Talk about a reality show. Cancelations and ghosting galore. But the group that has committed is beautiful and the purpose is to bring people and their stories together. Our first concert is Friday November 11th at Hotel Emma in San Antonio. The choir will be spread out within the Sternewirth room in Hotel Emma with some singers up on the balcony behind the old bar and then the rest being strategically dispersed throughout the space. A small string section will be in the center with the conductor. This performance is immersive with the audience, as attendees will be sitting and standing amongst the performers. THEN...

Here's where I get Andy Kaufman-esque... We will all jump in a bus for cookies and ice cream while singing (YES a bus! donated by Renewable Republic) and shuttle to the Hays Street Bridge that over looks the Pearl and do a pop-up impromptu performance. 

So PLEASE PLEASE come and join our family, our entourage. It's going to be special.
