Elves Don't Cry
Tuesdays in June were noteworthy (in addition to the fun gig described in the previous post) for a limited theatrical engagement of The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition! YES! LOTR on a big screen. On Tuesdays! Why? Well the Blu-Ray of the extended version just came out, so what better way to pimp it than to show if off on the big screen--Peter Jackson: he's clever that way. Some of you may not, could not, did not care. But I do, fervently care about Frodo & Co. Oh Sam. I am glad you are with me.
I admit it--it still makes me cry, even though I know how it all ends. And have known for years due to myriad multiple re-readings of the books.
And then Harry Potter's final chapter came out mid-July --and this culmination generated further fantasy fan tears (ok, ok, including mine). Obviously, it pushes some buttons for some of us--one either has the sci-fi/ fantasy gene or one doesn't. There's nothing for it--that's just the way it is.
And the High Elves sail west with Dumbledore, Gandalf, Frodo and Harry . Merry & Pippin practice polyfidelity with Hermione. Ron Weasley and Sam start an organic farm in Yorkshire where True Margrit will play gigs once a year.
So. Don't cry! The Hobbit movie ( part one) comes out in 2012...and meanwhile we start off on a new True Margrit recording quest this very summer, with reluctant heroes, narrow escapes, bravery and fellowship--right after our gig at
BOTTOM OF THE HILL this Sunday
(7/31/11).
ps it's my birthday show!

Hi, my name is Jules and I am the sponsorship and booking director for Tomato Battle, LLC, based out of Seattle, Washington. (facebook.com/tomatobattle, twitter.com/tomatobattle) Tomato Battle is an international, all-day event which hosts live music, a battle of the bands, a beer garden, and an hour long, no-holds-barred, ten thousand+ person tomato fight. We're looking for bands to enter our battle of the bands video contest for Tomato Battle:NorCal, so I thought I'd reach out to you. Please go to www.tomatobattle.com/norcalbattle for info on how to enter. The deadline for entry is in two weeks, so I really hope you enter. And feel free to spread the word to other local bands if you like... Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks a million,
Jules
