“What lies behind us and what lies in front of us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

I’ve been putting off writing this month’s newsletter because my future is in such a state of flux that I don’t quite know what to tell you.

This is what I do know: I’m moving out of my apartment in a week. I also graduate in a week. I leave town on June 1st. I’m playing a show in Virginia on the 3rd. I will probably be back here by the end of June.

This is what might be true: I might be playing a show at Linneman’s in July. I might be starting a blog so that you can read up on my travel experiences while I’m away. I might be buying an iPhone. I might be listening to my own CD right now (in a very non-conceited way)– okay, that’s true.

This is an exciting and terrifying juncture for me. Thanks to all of you who have worked your magic to make it a little easier for me. And for those of you who chose to make it a little harder– well, we all have our reasons. There are some exciting possibilities on the horizon that I’m not really ready to talk about just yet, but it’s all good stuff and all very exciting. It may involve a puppy.

Take good care of yourself in June. I’ll be in touch if it’s necessary, but if not, I’ll hopefully see some of you in July.

If anyone has boxes, I desperately need them.

love,
lisa

"When I got my first television set, I stopped caring so much about having close relationships." -- Andy Warhol

I am in a very serious relationship with the HD flat screen television in my bedroom. I had not had a television in my room since I moved out on my own. "What does a single person in a small apartment need with two TV's?" I thought. Looking back now, I can't believe how misguided my thinking was. Between the TV in my bedroom and my crock-pot, I've never been so in love. In fact I'd forget that I was single all together if it weren't for the delivery guy from "Chopstix" who knows me by name and only brings one fortune cookie no matter how hard I try to convince him that the food is for me and my date who is
really real and really my boyfriend-- my very exclusive HD flat screen boyfriend.

I am playing two shows this month that are perfect for those of you who can never make my weekend performances. The first is next week Tuesday. I'll be singing a few songs with the Chick Singer Night band over at Caroline's Jazz Club. This showcase event will feature six artists, so it's a great way to spend $8 and see a whole lot of talent. They are having a contest to see which artist brings out the most people. So when you show up be sure to tell them that you're there to see Lisa Gatewood. I'm playing first, so come out early! My second show I am very very excited about. Every Monday night, Linneman's Riverwest Inn has a free concert after Poet's Monday. It's usually the same people who take those slots BUT there are five Mondays this March, so Linneman's asked me to take the slot on the 31st. I'll go on at about 10pm and play for a couple hours. It's a free show and I know all you theatre folk out there are off on Mondays, so please come and hang out. We'll have a beer together. This is going to be a great show.

I am praying for the end of this winter and to see you all very soon. I have begun packing up my apartment and dreaming of what comes next.


love.
lisa.
