JPF Awards

So, the results are in, and the Madrigirls won our category of the Just Plain Folks Awards for our album Nevermas. Yay!!

Before you ask, I'm not actually on Nevermas. Nor am I on the new second album. I came just a little to late for one and left a few months too early for the other. Sigh. But it's still my choir and I still think we're great and so I still recommend the albums. I'll have to get ahold of the second one myself now... They recorded it during their tour to Wales. If you ever hear any of the recordings from our tour to Northumbria, though, I'm on those!

No progress on finding a local group to sing with. The church we are thinking of attending has choir starting back up this week, but their rehearsals are Thursdays and therefor conflict with fencing. While I haven't been really gung-ho about restarting fencing, it is one of my few opportunities for some exercise.

Another of the nominees for our category of the JPF awards is based right here in San Jose. But they look very...sober and serious. I'm not sure its quite the thing for me. Anyway, I've probably missed audition season now, since their website said they do it through the summer. And I'd have to commit to the whole concert year and there is still a chance we could pick up and move at any time if Ron gets a job offer in another city.

Speaking of which, the job hunts slog onwards. Ron is applying all over the western US though with a preference for the Bay Area still. I'm applying for anything I can think of in the area. I've started putting up flyers for tutoring, I'm applying for lots of editing jobs and even things like book stores in the area (hey, book discounts would be nice!).
