January 28th @ Hank's Saloon

Hank's Saloon! D60! Wildlife City! Oh my goodness, what a night!

"I'm just saying, it's cold outside and I just wanted to make sure you know that."
"What are you trying to say?"

That my skirt was very short, and my shirt had no sleeves, and it was January and VERY cold outside. I didn't realize it until after we got outside that I looked kind-of (absolutely) ridiculous with my big huge puffy winter sleeping bag of a coat, my Farrah Fawcett hair, my tall black boots and my bare legs. But, surprisingly, I wasn't that cold. It reminded me of high school when I used to wear shorts in the winter. Ah heart fire. Good ol' heart fire.

I love Hank's! Hank's is like a regular real person bar in an otherwise completely unreal city. Very cool. We got there first and they were sweet enough to move the pool table for us. (Which I felt very bad about by the way- we would have played to anyone's pool game!) Our buddies from D60 were there because, well, they organized the whole event so they probably should be there, and so were all our bestest buds.

It was an old school Stewart night- some of my favorites from 2006, a couple off our new upcoming album. Plus we did a special Beatles cover for Kevin and Chris learned I Want You Back in 10 minutes as a request before we started. Go Chris! Attitude was, of course, for me.

D60 was AWESOME, as per always. I love these guys! Seriously, if you haven't checked them out yet, you should because they are one of my absolute favorites. And if you weren't lucky enough to catch them, you're sure to see them on a bill with Stewart again, hopefully soon!

This show was a fundraiser for Haiti and by the end of the night we raised $500! $380 for a group of NYU doctors and med students going down with supplies and $120 for Acupuncturists Without Borders. Thank you so much everybody for coming out and making all this possible. It's nights like these that remind you how beautiful and amazing it is to be human and feel connected to something way bigger than yourself.

I love you all! Until next time...
