MCM “Cinema”
This year has been such an emotional rollercoaster, with crazy highs and lows just in these short couple months. One thing I’m reminded is how delicate this thing called life is.. and I don’t take it for granted. I’m so grateful to be connected to an amazing community, and am inspired by your passion, creativity, strength, love and resilience. When times are tough, you fuel me. You check in. You offer perspective. You lend a hand. You send silly memes. It all matters.
As I slide into my 47th birthday this week, I’d like to call upon all my dear friends and family in Seattle, to join Jesse and I for the official release of a project that is near and dear to us that we’ve been working on for the last year. Mid Century Modern – CINEMA Album Release Party at The Rendezvous Seattle this Saturday. Hope to see you then. And if not, catch you next time we’re back in the 206! Love Always,
