Saturday night I went to see Santogold with my friend April, fellow author and all around hilarious person Mark Henry and his faboo wife, Caroline.

I love this song - it was on the tracklist for Relentless.  The same back up dancers in this video were there too and I gotta say, I love them. LOVE them. I watched them more than I did her.

I love to see live music. I don’t go as often as I like to because I need to do it all around my kids and deadlines and I don’t live in the heart of the city either. But every time I go I am reinvigorated.  I love to see people doing creative things and Santi White (the woman behind Santogold) is so genuine and fun and clearly she loves doing what she does.

Mark and I have decided we either need to BE back up dancers or we need some of our own. I want back up dancers, you know to come into the room before I do and warm it up by bustin a move or three. Any takers?  I pay with top pot donuts.  Just sayin.

There was a dude in a gold lame turban with a fin on top. I’m not joking. I hope mark got a picture. There were also gold lame jackets and pants and a few headbands. Unless I’m a back up dancer, I can’t see dressing like the band. But I’m just not that cool apparently.

She brought people up on the stage for Creator - including an 11 year old boy who was totally adorable but I hope he had earplugs in because holy cow it was one of the loudest shows I’ve been to in a long time.

On top of all this wonderfulness - I’m celebrating my twentieth wedding anniversary on Wednesday! Of course we can’t get away like we’d orginally planned but we’re hoping to do something mid next  year to celebrate instead.

Then to Emerald City - my RWA Chapter conference coming up the 10, 11 and 12.  If you’re in the Seattle area, I’ll be doing the booksigning at the Bellevue Hilton from 4 - 6 on October 11 along with many other wonderful authors so come by and say hello!

Y’all have a great week! Don’t forget Anya’s Chosen Sin officially releases tomorrow, October 7!
