It's a Friday, and the first one in three weeks where I haven't had some musicians crashing on my floor! Who will eat my pancakes tomorrow morning!?
Next weekend, I'll be playing with Michou at the Phog Lounge (157 University Ave W) in Windsor. I'm excited! It's only a $5 cover, so we're going to pack the place. Be sure to show up early or you might not be able to get in!

Both of us will have merch available (they'll probably dominate the table with all their awesome tees). My sweet little handmade birdies will be up for adoption. I'll finally get to show off the awesome case I sewed for my tuning pedal. And I'll have a cute little guestbook for you to write your comments in/sign up for the mailing list! (Of course, you're online right now so you could just do it in the little box on the right.)
The birdie contest is still running - sign up for the mailing list and you'll be entered in a draw at the end of the month for one of the handsewn birdies available in the Made By Crissi store. If you signed up for the mailing list prior to January 1, 2011, YOUR EMAIL HAS BEEN LOST. That is why you never received any mailing list updates (major errors!). So, sign up again and cross your fingers!

The show with The Mountains & The Trees and Zachary Lucky last night was so much fun! The crowd was dead quiet. We all got rid of some CDs, and my handmade birds were available too - one of whom found a new home (hooray!). Jon and I shot two videos of me playing some songs in my apartment this morning, so I'll be sure to share those with you as soon as they're up!
I'll be playing at Phog again on February 4th with MICHOU. Totally excited because I haven't actually played a show with Michou since May (I thought it was longer than that, but okay, that's still a little while) when I was still in Halifax. Price and Facebook event to come - I'll post more info as soon as I have it!
Don't forget that the CONTEST to win a FREE HANDMADE BIRDIE is still on! Sign up for the mailing list on the right hand side of the page there and you'll be entered to win. The birdie will fly right to your doorstep! And, you don't have to worry that I'll spam you with trillions of irritating emails - I generally forget that mailing lists exist. I promise I won't write you more than twice a month!

Happy New Year! I have secretly been working very hard on a great new project. I'll be launching it online here on January 3rd.
My mailing list is being revamped. My old system wasn't working out (which is why you haven't received any emails from me!), and all data has been lost. So, please subscribe (or resubscribe) and you'll begin receiving emails about upcoming shows, new releases, and contests - the first of which begins on January 3rd! You'll be entered, just for subscribing. So sign up now, and come by on the 3rd to see what you might win...
