A sweet love pic of the Faerie and her husand in Amsterdam

Another of my favorite love pics - taken by my friend Todd in Amsterdam. Yay! (Todd makes cool RECords: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29722623@N00/ )

The Teafaerie silhouetted in front of her Rainbow screen at Burning Man.

The Teafaerie's fingers are RECord buttons!

In the Beginning, it is always dark...

Teafaerie's first RECord on HitRECord!

I want to remember

A picture of my husband and I in our early courtship. I want to revive memories from the time before I started my regular recording practice. For the Manifestation Station collaboration, and also for 28 days... (and whatever you want to use it for!)

A record from the Teafaerie and Jason's wedding.

This is one of my favorite love pictures.

love makes it stronger

From the storyboard of the movie that I'm writing. Taken and originally posted by Ronen. The blue one is a telepath. Putting it in Manifestation station, cause they're rooting for the script, and in a bunch of other stuff too, cause why not.

dawn in Black Rock City


The Faerie on the pirate ship at dawn at Burning Man in like 2005. For the Snapshot of My City collaboration. (and whatever else!)

the Teafaerie holds a magic sparkler

A picture of me with a magic sparkler. I'm contributing it to 28 days, the Manifestation Station and Joe's birthday thread...

The Teafaerie blows the Teahorn on the Charles Bridge in Prague.

The Teafaerie got her hand all painty painting the REC room. Loving you, Lexy!

A result for the Poster collaboration. Great job everybody! The final versions are up at Sundance! I tried to include all the posters. If I missed resourcing you, let me know in the notes and I'll add your record.

Our posters all got covered up in one day! The game is on, though. We got a LOT of posters...

The Faerie is very determined to win the poster war!

super super super ghetto - just the barest sketch of an idea. Fortunately I'm putting together a crack team (heh heh) who can totally make something way way way better...

Tea, Tori, Lexy and Sarahalyse, together IRL. Yay!

Lisa and Jenyffer.maria have joined in the beautiful madness!

Sarahalyse and her brother are busking at Sundance. In fact, that's what they were doing when we met! They sing us a song about smuggling and I throw snowballs at them...

Yay!

HitRECord's animated short about the Prop 8 trial, transparency, media, freedom and the future. Made collaboratively during the Sundance Film Festival.

Complete listing of resources coming as soon as I get home from Utah.

Okay - here is the Faerie being bold and beautiful...

My husband and I have wonderful a mutual girlfriend, and this is a song that I wrote for her birthday whilst I was away in Thailand a few years ago. It's a completely embarrassing recording by almost any measure - It's me singing acapella on my 2004 phone cam, and it's way way sappy and dorky, so apologies in advance and be forewarned and all that.

I'm posting it because it's her birthday again tomorrow, (there will be parties over several days) and I thought it would be extra awesome if I could actually produce a version of this with music and good singing and so forth. By which I mean that I really hope someone(s) will quick like bunny record a version of this that doesn't suck for me. Feel free (always and of course) to change the tune as much as you like... I love to write songs but I don't know anything about music except for the how magic it is part.

Lyrics below:

just when i thought I'd got a handle on my life
a cozy little family just a husband and a wife
I suddenly discovered I was bursting at the seams
as two became a trio re-arranging all my dreams

unexpected child like a bolt out of the blue
a miracle a mystery I'm doubting what I thought I knew
unexpected child like a lost thing found
a force that's changing everything that's turning my whole world around

sometimes I thought of ending it before it could begin
but to kill a thing alive inside me feels like a sin
i thought that if we gave you up one day you'd understand
much happier with someone else who had you in their plans

you wake up crying in the middle of the night
and it breaks my heart to tell you everything will be all right
you make me want to push myself to be all that I can
to conquer my own demons to appreciate to understand

unexpected child like a twist in the plot
to know a whole new kind of love
reminding me what I forgot
unexpected child like a message from within
connecting me to something greater
changing what it means to win

we teach each other something new about ourselves each day
discovering together as we work and as we play
and when I look into you eyes I know that you are mine
and I'm grateful to the universe for bringing me a gift so fine

unexpected child like the truth brought home
the sudden revelation of the something I have always known
unexpected child like a wish come true
my love for you is unexpected child

Thanks to all who REC'd the vote! We totally won! Here is our trophy!

Woohoo!

More pix of my guts.

A song that the Teafaerie wrote for Burning d@N. In loving memory.

Some people have requested the stripped audio track to the Teahouse Treehouse song I wrote for dan. Here it is!

This is poem dan wrote for the Teafaerie, to be said when wishing on the Last Star.

You gotta make sure you can only see one - sometimes there are two for a while and then you lose em both - but if you get it it's more magic and more honorable than First Star, because you have to made it through the night of adventure - or get up pretty early - to catch it. It was kind of a little romantic secret, but I think he'd like it if I/we passed it on.
