And otherwise, I think you have all the info you'll need to make it out tonight!

In other Joann Ellis Music news: I'm in the process of getting some old recordings mastered so I can offer a REAL CD for sale at shows, and then get to recording a 2nd album (my first full-length)! Stay tuned for news on the upcoming release of the "Songbird Sessions."

Well, that's it for now. I'll look for you later on this evening, and have a great day!

Peace,
Joann

FRI Nov 16: Legends Gourmet Pizza in Burlington, NJ - warm up with pizza & me!

Hey folks!

It is finally cold...or is it? Will it turn 80 degrees and humid again in a couple of days? Good grief, I hope not. But for tonight the chill is on, and I'm hoping you'll join me for an evening on the town. Step in from the cold for a bite to eat and some good company; I'll be playing music HERE tonight:

Legends Gourmet Pizza
318 High St
Burlington, NJ 08016

FRI, Nov 16
7-10 PM

(Google directions)

tel (609) 386- 3001

The owners recently opened a wine/beer store next door, so Legends has now become a B.Y.O.B. Either way, it's a quaint venue towards the end of High St, small and intimate, and the pizza is truly gourmet. The menu offers specialty pies and salads, named for various legends of screen and stage, or you can select gourmet ingredients to make your own custom creation. And you can watch it being made while you relax... Ok, now I'm getting hungry!

(ps - my favorite is still the "Jimi" after Mr. Hendrix, which includes: Wild Mushrooms, Spinach, Balsamic Onions & Goat Cheese)

It's always a good time to see friendly faces, enjoy live music, and eat some tasty fare. That being said, I hope to see you at Legends Gourmet Pizza a little bit later on this evening. And have a great day, all!

Peace,
Joann

Powershift '07 (pt 1)

Hey there folks...

I know it's been a while, I just wanted to let you know where I am these days - I've been in College Park, MD at UMd for Powershift '07, the first-ever national conference for students on climate change.

Visit the Powershift '07 site for more info.

I will definitely be posting again about this event (for now, I must retire), but just one brief note: I drove down stag yesterday (Fri 11/2), not sure where I'd be sleeping, but having secured a couple of couch-surfing offers thanks to this cute button:


...and as I was about to check-in, what should I hear but, "Joann...cousin Joann!" It's my 1st cousin Amy Austin. I had no idea she attended the University of Maryland, and it's been a good 5 years since we've seen each other, so while she recognized me, I wouldn't have exactly picked her out of a crowd. (Plus, she dyes her hair now. All grown up!?)

But she found me - right place, perfect time - and I find myself on Night 2 of having a safe & warm bed all to myself, courtesy of my blood-ties, and a chaperone to help me navigate around this obscenely-large campus. Makes me appreciate Rutgers even more.

I'll do a follow-up posting on this tomorrow or Monday to more fully describe my experience this weekend. Off to bed with me.

'til then.
Joann
