Upcoming Appearances

THIS WEEK, JANUARY 20: During the Inauguration Day Protests in the streets of Portland, I'll be celebrating Emperor Bush's re-coronation by singing in a ritual performance based on the Tibetan Nechung Oracle Ceremony, with Soriah and other performers. Go check out the parades downtown and in the North Park Blocks, late afternoon.

SAVE THE DATE: Yrs truly is threatening to perform at Cabaret Boris & Natasha at Performance Works NW on March 4-5. Shows start early at 7 pm. I've also been asked to read at Wordstock April 23-24, though that's still tentative.
