Hey SoCal McCleaniacs!

I have TWO shows this upcoming week!

dec-2016-shows

I’m so excited to tell you I’m BACK at El Cid as the featured performer on Monday!! Get there by 7:30 to get a good seat. It’s only $5 cover and there’s no drink minimum, but you shouldn’t deny yourself the incredible sangria.

If you miss Monday, I’ll be back at Canteen Points at The Good Nite in North Hollywood on Thursday, Dec. 15. That show starts around 8pm, and if you’re a comic, you can sign up for the open mic! It’s a lottery for 5 slots. (get there at 7:30 for that… you might have to wait outside for a second if they don’t haven’t opened the doors yet)

So, remember when I was committing to a shitty first draft each day? And how it lasted 3 days until the election and then I went into a kind of anxious depressive shell like a lot of us did? And I recorded 2 more, wrote 1 more after that? And it’s been crickets since?

I’m sure the only person counting on me doing this every day was me. But… fuck it. Butt-fuck it, even.

But now  I have 6 shitty first drafts of brand new songs. And now I know that I can write a song really quickly within the creative limitations . I did realize after the first couple that most of my creative time was towards brand new stuff, and not working on the drafts to develop them or practicing anything else, mostly because I didn’t make the time for anything else. But I have to remember that even the shitty first drafts are practice: getting my hands on the banjo, writing, singing. “No practice is wasted.”

Old Courtney used to beat herself up about not being able to commit to something like this, but now I realize that is a waste of energy, and if I’m not feeling that kind of creative output, I’m not going to do it well. We all do things our own way, no matter what books, people, assholes are going to tell you differently.

But seriously, I better get to some practice for Monday’s show. Keep your chins up, McCleaniacs, and keep fighting the good fight. See you soon?

McCleaniacs, I am so thrilled to tell you that I am going to be the featured performer at the spectacular EL CID on Sunset Blvd in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles on October 3rd! My set will start at 8pm and be over at 8:30pm (DOORS at 7:30 – get there early for a good seat!!), with the open mic starting at 8:30pm (a mix of comedy and music – usually surprisingly good). I’m going to have a brand new song, a revived and massaged cover (but you’ve never seen me do it, trust me), and a fucking incredible new costume that I haven’t started making, but I’m dreaming about it, and it’s spectacular. (And I’ve just discovered control undergarments, so things might get a little sexier. Covered, but streamlined).

I’m super honored to finally have snagged the featured performer spot at the El Cid open mic; for some odd reason it’s been a little goal of mine. I want everyone to be there – THAT MEANS YOU! – and here’s the invite on Facebook if you want to let me know you’re coming and share it with your pals.

We will also be celebrating my first anniversary back in California! I rolled into town after taking a luxurious two-day road trip in my 95 Camry from St. Paul, Minnesota, just in time for my 20th high school reunion at the TGI Friday’s in Yorba Linda, on October 3rd, 2015.

COME TO MY SHOW & PARTY! It would mean a lot to me and honestly, you will have a great time and don’t you think you deserve a great time right now??  YEAH YOU DO!

McCleaniacs!  Remember when I was in Santa Barbara in late January (the second time) when I played a show for No Indoor Voices Productions at the Brasil Arts Cafe? Well, the fabulous Becky Sapp filmed us!  Here’s the first offering of the set, “I’m No Cowgirl.” Enjoy!
