In part, I think it’s because I do still feel like women are a little under-represented out there in the pop music world, and I think we do need programming dedicated to women to balance it out. But I’ve been thinking about whether this under-representation is actual or in my head quite a lot recently, as debates regarding the return of Lilith Fair and its “relevance” swirl through the media. This coming week, I will actually be blogging every day re: Lilith Fair, women in music, etc. A bit of a “how far we’ve come and how far we have yet to go,” story, I think, told through my own – admittedly limited! – perspective and my own personal experience with Lilith Fair and its performers over the years. Staaaay tuned!

Yay for friends in NYC – Regan and I smile pretty in Union Square.


Mike ponders ancient Egypt at the Met.

Super-nice Kris Ortiz from WRHU, where I did a little radio interview the morning of the show in NYC.

Outside our friends’ apartment in Cambridge, MA. Sadly, this is about as far as we really got, because clearly, it was raining. This angle (and maybe the hood) sort of makes me look like a Hobbitt. I am small, but not that small…

The door at the Colony Cafe…are you excited? I am!

Colony Cafe, Woodstock (aka the coolest place ever)

Willy Porter’s soundcheck. He sounded great, in case you were wondering.

Just in case you weren’t sure how the people of Woodstock feel about corporate culture…

Gotta love the Catskills.

Getting warmed up at Read Street Books in Baltimore.

Our good friend and my personal guitar hero Tim Young cracks me up in Baltimore when we meet up…
