Monday I sent Do Re MiNK off to be pressed! I feel like I’ve just sent my two-year old out to play in traffic!
It’s been quite a ride, and it’s not over yet, but Do Re MiNK is almost here! We’re in the final stages of production; everything is recorded and we’re mixing the last tracks getting ready to master. I’m so proud of my Wonderful Band — Walker Teret, Skizz Cyzyk, and Glenn Workman –who have worked so hard to make this CD sound so amazing! And our engineer/producer Dave Nachodsky at Invisible Sound Studios here in Baltimore is fantastic! We’re expecting an end-of-March release and it will be available on Itunes and Amazon among other places. Autographed copies will be available here, as well!
Ta Da! We have launched our Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds needed to finish the CD we started last year. By “we” I mean me and my Wonderful Band. Check it out at www.kickstarter.com/projects/169572016/do-re-mink-mink-stoles-first-cd. Not only will the CD itself be terrific, full of songs we love and think you will too, we’re giving away cool stuff to our supporters, including autographed CDs, downloads, wedding ceremonies and my hand-crocheted potholders. You can even have us play for you at your own private party!
Plus, everyone who pledges even the smallest amount will be thanked personally right here on my website.
DON’T WAIT! THE CAMPAIGN ENDS JULY 30TH AT MIDNIGHT. DON’T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF MY DREAM!
If you have any questions, or if there’s something specific you would like to have for a Reward, email me at minkpix@gmail.com. We’ll talk.
As soon as I can figure out how, I’ll put a link here so you can listen to “Sometimes I Wish I Had A Gun,” which will be on the CD. In the meantime, you can hear it at www.facebook.com/minkstolefans. Enjoy!
To book Mink Stole and her Wonderful Band, or for any other work-related inquiries, please email us at minkpix@gmail.com. Thank you.
I resisted; I fought; I held out as long as I could. “I don’t Tweet,” I would say, as loudly and proudly as my location permitted. “Don’t even talk to me about Twitter.” Why, you may ask, did it take me so long to hop aboard the Twitter train? Did I really think all Tweeters were twits, that Twitter was just something people who believe owning smart phones makes them smart did to amuse themselves in airports? Well, kinda.
But I am now cured and have found the light. No longer an anti-Twitter snot, I am, like any convert, determined to get the Word out. Yay Twitter!
The only people I follow so far are Conan, Oprah, PeeWee, and Kevin Smith — who could probably write a novel on Twitter –but I am looking for more. Again I say, Yay Twitter!
Well, kiddies, our Baltimore shows went really well, and we are so excited to be bringing it up to Harrisburg this Friday night, Dec. 17. We’ll be at Stage on Herr, and here’s the poster to prove it!
Don't Miss It!
If any of you have seen the Youtube video of me from last year’s show that’s floating around the interweb, you have an even bigger, better reason to come. You have to see how much weight I’ve lost!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Hi. Many people have asked me, so I’ve set up a very simple gift shop. Just click on the Gift Shop tag under my eyes. When I tested it on my home computer, well, it wasn’t very graceful, but it worked. If you try it and have any problems, just email me at minkpix@gmail.com and I’ll figure it out. There have been problems in the past which I have worked hard to fix, and I don’t want anybody to be unhappy. Not now — not ever, but especially not now — it’s the holidays!
BALTIMORE -- THURSDAY, DEC. 9th and FRIDAY, DEC. 10th
HARRISBURG, PA -- FRIDAY, DEC. 17th
This year’s Christmas show is bigger and better than ever! My Wonderful Band is with me of course, and, for our Baltimore shows we’ll be joined by Arty Hill (Arty Hill and the Long Gone Daddys) and John Irvine (and his fabulous trumpet)! Arty can’t be with us in Harrisburg, because he really is a daddy and will be spending that evening with his family, but John and his trumpet are making the trip!
A very special bonus for those of you who come to Harrisburg is that SUSAN LOWE (Mole in Desperate Living) will be opening a show of her Madhouse drawings at the Moviate Gallery (1306 N. Third St.) on the same night as our Christmas show, so it will be a sort of Dreamland double feature, right in the heart of the capital of Pennsylvania. You can go to Susan’s opening, then walk around the corner to Stage on Herr to see me! Merry Christmas!
Welcome to my new totally-run-by-me website. While I am wise about many things, websites and programming are not among them, so I’m going to be learning how to do this while you watch. Of course, putting up a cool site is nothing a demi-bright 12 year old couldn’t do between texts to her BFF, but hey, I’m not 12.
Today I’m going to figure out how to post some pictures — so check back later.
