Acts of Courage
Ultimate Fan Experience!
Thanks to an extraordinary invite from my friend Lindsay Gardner, founder of Rock the Green, we got to attend soundcheck for RTG last year. Jeff and I decided to put on a show for Lord Huron instead. As they were testing their lights -- we kept doing all these crazy things that fans do... in a crowd. Except it was just us, losing our minds like Beatles fans.
Ladies Rock -- Band Practice
Another act of courage. Spent three days forming a band, learning guitar, writing a song and then performing it on stage! If you want a great challenge, sign up for Ladies Rock Milwaukee! It was a helluvagood time.
Acts of Courage
Salutations!
As some of you know, I have been challenging myself over the last year to do things that SCARE THE LIVING TAR out of me.
So... I’ve accepted the challenge to “Karaoke for a Cause” in support of 88Nine Radio Milwaukee, which means I have committed to sing in front of HUNDREDS of people at the 4th Annual Fall Ball on Friday, September 15, 2017.
Beyond believing in what Radio Milwaukee (88.9 FM) is doing to transform MKE, I felt compelled to say YES because this was a chance for me transform as well. If I don't spontaneously combust on stage in a few weeks, I hope this act encourages you to go out and do something terrifying.
There is no better feeling than being on the otherside of a challenge like this. As I am learning, that's where joy lives.
So thank you for reading all this! Your gift to my “Karaoke for a Cause” fundraising campaign will not only allow me to live out my rock star dreams, but it will go a long way to ensure 88Nine is able to continue expanding their positive impact for many more years to come.
And beyond contributing, join me and watch the performance! 88Nine has put together a pretty extraordinary evening. Visit radiomilwaukee.org/FallBall for tickets and more event information. Hope to see you there!
