SOLD OUT!
11-Year Elevanniversary Celebration
Town Hall Seattle
1119
Eighth Ave (at Seneca)
8 PM (sharp!) - All Ages - $11
On July 3rd, 1998, I invited a few friends over to my old house in Wallingford to perform some songs that I had recorded for a little CD I had made. Little did I know, this night was going to be the modest beginning of an unrelentingly magical career that has taken me to venues and hearts all over the world.
To celebrate my 11-year anniversary as a professional vagabond, I'm holding a big home-town extravaganza at my favorite Seattle venue - Town Hall. It is going to be a very special night for me. Almost all of the musicians and artists that I have worked with over these past eleven years will be performing, including Amanda Palmer, Reverend Peyton, Andru Bemis, Jay Thompson, Jherek Bischoff, Michael McQuilken, Alex Guy and many, many more!
So please, bring your friends, your smiles, your fingers, your heart. Bring eleven hugs for eleven strangers, and bring a jacket. You never know where the night will take you..
NOTICE: This show is sold out. Doors open at 7:30 and the show begins promptly at 8. Please arrive on time. Latecomers tickets may be given away after the show begins.
CAMP TOMATO 2009!
July 5th - high noon
(Meridian Playground behind the Good Shepherd Center at 4649 Sunnyside Ave N in Wallingford)
What exactly is Camp Tomato? It is a day of activites and games, with perhaps even a bit of music that I try to hold every year. It is, in my opinion, ridiculously fun. Take a look at these photo galleries of past years to get a bit of an idea....
2005 | 2006
We'll gather at noon for a potluck, followed by some games, some songs, some mayhem, and of course a game of "Tomato Raid". We will meet at the SE corner of the park. Bring a $5 donation, something for the potluck and as many tomatoes as you can muster. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

NEXT?
I'll be performing a special show at Bumbershoot this year in th Bagley Wright. Then I'm heading back to Europe to work on a project I don't understand with Amanda Palmer, Zoe Keating and Neil Gaiman. While I'm there, I'll do a little tour. Then I still want to make it back to Mexico and Australia before the year is out... The Evelyn Evelyn full length could be done by the end of the year. It is still difficult to say.
