Here we are, halfway through 2009. It's been a ridiculous year (life?) for me so far, but I'm excited to finally have a plan that will take me through the rest of this year, and hopefully set up all of 2010, and beyond.
It's been a long time since I had a two-year plan, or even a six-month plan for that matter.
So here it is. If you want to get involved, let me know and I will find a place for you:
JULY:
- Begin co-booking national Gardening, Not Architecture tour with Gavin Castleton
- Finish mixing the new album with Beau
- Play a bunch of shows
- Co-host an amazing podcast every Monday night
- Design and create the new handmade artwork for the upcoming G,NA release
- Update my online store
- Stop eating so much junk food
- Avoid going on dates, or avoid boys in general
- Take some photographs for the album with Beau, the secret other half of G,NA
AUGUST:
- Begin promoting national tour, hopefully with your help
- Design and create handmade CD and vinyl(?) sleeves
- Find vans on the west coast and east coast to use on tour
- Design and program a new light show
- Finish mastering new record
- Have a massive going-away party
- Eat a lot of cupcakes
- Listening party in Los Angeles when the album is done?
SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER & INTO NOVEMBER:
NOVEMBER:
- Make more music videos with Coatwolf
- Play fun shows
- Make more stuff
- Have dance parties
- Sleep a lot
- Start booking for 2010
- Buy Christmas presents
DECEMBER:
- Make some rad G,NA collectibles for Christmas presents
- Start working on new songs
- Eat some cake
- Think about how awesome 2009 was, in comparison to 2008
- Finalize early 2010 tour dates
- Go into hiding at parents' house in the mountains of North Carolina
I know it sounds like a lot -- especially the parts about eating cake and sleeping -- but it's a group effort. Let me know if you want to be part of the cultivation! This is gardening, not architecture.
Love,
Sarah
