01/18/2005: "Fun Times on the Road..."

I'm so happy to have a moment to check in with you all. I'm actually back in New York for a few days to see my kitties before we scoot off to Columbus. The shows - and those of you who have been there I think will agree - have been wonderful!! I'm so impressed by the dancing of ALL of you (moms and dad included). It's also super fun to be on a real stage with lights and sound and a set. Our crew is awesome and they have been working so hard. Sometimes they only get to sleep a few hours before having to roll out of bed in the wee hours of the morning to go set things up and make us look good. I guess in some ways it's part of the job description on a gig like this, but I still really appreciate all of their hard work - they're great guys!

Thanks to everyone who was so sweet to my mommy at the Baltimore show and to those of you who missed her at the Hartford and Boston performances! She's the best.

Also, I don't have all of my presents and artwork in front of me, so the specific thank yous will have to come a bit later. But, just generally, thanks to everyone who's given me gifts to take home with me. The pictures (both drawn and photgraphed), the flowers (which light up any drab hotel room), the care packages (my throat especially appreciated the tea last week when I was sick), the photo album (truly amazing! My friends who hound me for having no camera with me will appreciate this one), and all the fan mail, thank you notes, hugs, smiles, dance moves and just general support and positive energy at every show.

So, four more shows this weekend and then LA (how exciting! Except the Jets won't be in the Super Bowl which is a bummer, but I guess you can't win 'em all). I'll be in touch soon and I'll see some you even sooner! Take care, stay warm, keep singing!

Much love,
Karla
