So this coming Thursday, not tomorrow, but the one after, I'm gonna be playing a show at the Holy Oak, in Toronto, with Richard Laviolette as part of a series of fundraiser shows being put on by Sarah Mangle to help make a movie about her gay aunts in Vermont. It'll be great!<br />
<br />
Richard also just helped me record a few songs that I'm mixing very slowly... :-)<br />
put put goes the kit machine...<br />
<br />
till next time<br />

i just finished a well spaced out string of speaking/reading/singing presentations with a wonderful new collaborator <a href="http://elishalim.com/">elisha lim</a> . they were fabulous company for our intense and lovely presentation about transitioning, isolation and how we've learned to cope or not cope with those things. we went to a few university classrooms and some community spaces around ontario. what a great and terrifying thing it was to be seen as worthy of speaking to a trans experience in classrooms. thank you everyone that came out!<br />
in ottawa a person approached me and asked if i had written the last song i played. the song was <a href="http://www.southernsouls.com/kit-wilson-yang/">in front of the tv.</a> he mentioned that just before he came to the presentation, his brother had been playing that very song in his living room! what an amazing complement! i'm deeply moved that people relate so much to that song. thanks.<br />
<br />
in other exciting news, i have a new zine, ancient water, new land, which is available for mail order if someone should so desire. also i reprinted four heavens and the rain, so there are lots and lots of copies of those as well should y'all want so light reading.<br />
<br />
more soon!<br />
