I had this wacky idea for patches and @rag3andl0ve painstakingly took the artwork and painted every single patch and gave me options on colors. I’m so excited about this silly and fun collab.
After working with her to place my order, I then went on to design these shiny stickers while in an ambien fugue state, ordered 10 of them from Sweden, and then promptly forgot about it. (For the discerning eye - the hand/tennis ball is a reference to the heart like a hand grenade. I know. Deep.
At the Coverups show at the Fox Theater, I both excitedly and impatiently tossed some patches on stage for Billie and then begged Hans to get them to him, to which he kindly obliged.
Back to the subject though - as we like to support our community, I wanted to give a shoutout to Kate (@rag3andl0ve ) for being a fantastic collaborator, and I hope all of you will give her page a follow and support her business.

A little update for those that followed my story of discovering my dad’s band from 1965!! An incredibly generous friend, @bydeadface has kindly offered to press me my own 7” with the audio on was able to source from a collector. He cleaned up the audio, printed a reproduction of the label, and shipped it to me so I could hear my dad’s teenaged voice from over 60 years ago… and 10 years after he’s gone. Please enjoy some clips and footage of the piece being made!
The kindness and generosity had been overwhelming. This is so special to me, I have so little left from him since he passed (though I do have his guitar, his physical height, and his love for music).
Thank you so much for this invaluable gift.

This year I learned that joy is a form of rebellion.
Thank you to the year that taught me healing can look like dancing, weekend trips, loud music, adult female friendship, community and belly laughs.
Thank you to my partner who supports my craziness and thank you to my dogs for all the snuggles and kisses. Thank you to my dear friends for making my life so complete and for always having my back. You all are my family.
Goodbye 45. I’m full of equal parts gratitude and attitude 😆
Excited to see what my 46th solar return has in store for me ✨
