Between The Trees!!

So BTT is an AMAZING band... and if you haven't listened to them before, you really need to look them up. The first song I heard by them was "The Way She Feels"... and if you know anything about me, you will know that that song is very near to me. They have been working with To Write Love On Her Arms, and the song "The Way She Feels" is actually written about Renee, the girl who TWLOHA was started for, basically. Here's a few links that you really need to check out:

And this is the best interview I have seen with BTT, where they talk about when they first met Renee, some of the songs they've written, there do some acoustic stuff, and you get to know them and more of their story. Watch it!!

And here is a brief bio of BTT... :-) (taken from their website)

Formed in early 2005, this Orlando based band has swept the scene with their unforgettable hooks and catchy lyrics. Between The Trees, developed in the west side of Orlando, began with lead vocalist Ryan Kirkland and the brothers, Josh and Jeremy Butler. In the early stages this small trio started writing and performing at small venues in the local Orlando area. Soon after, in Spring 2005, they chose a keyboardist, Wes Anderson, to join them in this venture. Realizing a need for another guitarist, Between The Trees soon sought after Brad Kriebel, a close friend and great musician. After finalizing the line up, this band began to write and collaborate different styles of music. The group has become known for their ability to create a common ground with the fans through their music using life experiences and friendship as their foundation. This is the unique and talented group known as Between The Trees.



Okay, that's all. Just wanted to put that out there. Now go and check out those links and watch the videos/read the stories and spread the word!!

Love you all.

Yesterday I went to this place in Litchfield where there is this huge park, full of daffodils. Its beautiful. But extremely buggy. I took a lot of pictures. And I got a goose to hiss at me.

Today I woke up early, which has been happening a lot lately as I am getting into this new sleep cycle/schedule. So I woke up, got a phone call from someone about a place he found was offering pottery lessons, and so I called them and, get this, I signed up. :-D It starts tomorrow. Well, it actually started on April 1st, but I talked with the guy and he is willing to work with me and let me join still if I make up some of the classes during the week. The class runs usually on Saturdays from 9:30-12:30. I'm excited.

Then my one friend here at home, who happens to be a mother of 2 high schoolers, lol, called me and we decided to go on a hike. 3.5 miles and a cold shower later, here I am.

And now I get to the point of this post. My dad emailed me today about this arts and crafts fair that his company, Traveler's Insurance is having, and asked me if I would like to be a part of it. I said yes! So on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30TH I am going to have my very own space/table, and you should come see me!! Though I realize most of you are either in another country or state, I thought I would still extend the invitation. ;-) I'm really nervous though. What if people don't like my photos? What if I get all this stuff ready, I already bought the booth, and it turns out to be a flop? Oh well, gotta take the chance at least, right? Right. But that means that between now, April 17th and then, April 30th, I have a heck of a lot of editing and printing and designing and assembling to do. But, I am excited. Who knows, maybe I'll at least get to meet some new people.

Okay, thats all for now I guess. If you actually are a(n) [avid] reader of my blog, leave a comment so I know you were here! Haha. Though I realize that those people only exist in my head. :-P

Love you all.
