Girl-Woman-Man-Boy anyone can be a groupiegirl. Check out the listserve connected to the chronicles of my music compulsion, to see live and local music, in the Washington, DC Metro area. While a lot of the shows I attend will be Americana/Alt-Country/Roots Rock-or what ever you want to call it, you will also find forays into other Rock Music, some Pop, Punk and other solo-songwriter performers. Find out about venues and bands, new and old, in the DC Metro area from the audiences perspective, for that's all groupiegirl is, a glorified audience member, not a musician or critic. All you need to do to become a groupiegirl is:

#1 - LISTEN and people I can't stress this enough, step one is the most overlooked.

#2 - If you like what you heard, support the talent. Sure buy their stuff, go to their shows, but did you ever think of, hmmm, contacting LOCAL radio stations and requesting their stuff? I'm sure there are other ideas out there.

#3 - Subscribe to the listserve groupiegirls-subscribe@topica.com.

I hope to pass on my enthusiasm about the inspiring group of artists that are in our own back yard and I hope to continue my education in the rich music history that is still growing day by day in this region.

Rock On DC!

Talked to Ian today. Very happy he is up for the marketing thing, 'sooner rather than later'. Mentioned we should try to curate some artists for ArtOmatic. This will take some thought to decide who to feature (Ian, Allen, Me, Joan,. Phoebe-hmmm, Hennessy) and under what guise? How to bring out the work-do it well.

If I were to be in this and to start messing around with Installations I had better start preparing. getting the Plexi/egg things off the ground would be good-Ian is seduced by the plastic sheathes, they are a possibility as well. Having Allen project on our work would be smashing.

Lastly, Thursday, I want to go see shows, the ART ISN"T in G-town, the Tatlin at the Corcoran, and maybe Bucci's Party Animal.
