Well, here I am at Omega! I certainly feel in the cosmic flow of things, considering that last week my job was to assist at a children's rock and roll camp, the first time they had ever pioneered the workshop at Omega. I spent the five days thinking about nothing but music and band-leading and performance, and it was so rewarding to help some of the kids learn their first guitar chords and get inspiration for songwriting in some of the very places on campus where I've written many of my own songs.

There were more synchronicities afoot; one of the camper's names was Persephone (although she dropped out- what does that mean?!), and also, in the process I met a great new friend named Alexandra who has a very parallel music situation as me going on in New York. We had met on Sunday doing housekeeping, and talked incessantly about our bands and albums and life goals, and when we flipped through the catalogue to see what workshops were taking place that week, flipped out in excitement to see that there was a rock and roll camp. Through powers of manifestation and determination we became the two workshop assistants- even though we got some moderately patronizing reactions seeing as we're both female. Anyhoo- it was a great week and it was really cool to make a friend who- like me- is constantly dreaming up her future, and taking that process very seriously.

I'm definitely constantly in the world of The Liz O Show and Boppity Bear, and planning up the next phase of Happenings. Over the next two months, Betsy and Wetsy are moving in at the Oehlschlaeger residence to build the Boppity Bear Empire and shoot Bingeing with the Buddha Season 2, and Betsy has been hired as my Assistant Creative Director and Administrator, which means she will help me in organization of creative projects, and sending out the Kickstarter rewards. I'll also be working on visuals for the album, so that when I return to San Fran the only thing left to do will just be to finish recording and mixing. Hooray!

Any of you who are familiar with my world of inside jokes will know that it is extremely ironic for Betsy and I to be moving in together, since the whole idea is that we are nine year old twin sisters, and Wetsy is extremely spoiled and overstimulated and excitable, while Betsy is brooding and rational and is whatever the opposite of spoiled is; she has to take care of Wetsy in addition to doing all the household chores.
