Today I am finishing up this gigantic drive all the way from Missouri to LA. Only 9 hours to go… Yay! I'll be spending a few days with my sister and then we're off to the SF Renegade for the weekend! I'm pretty excited, Renegade is always so much fun! I'll post our booth number and directions soon so you can come visit us if you're in the area.

Thought it might be fun to share my state-by-state road trip playlist…

In Oklahoma I listened to The Flaming Lips…

In Texas it was Jenny Lewis, lots of clouds and a little bit of rain…

And in New Mexico I listened to Animal Collective and watched the sun set.

Today I'll drive through the rest of Arizona and California, talk to Jeremy on my headphones and hopefully Leigh-Ann too!  I'll catch up on e-mails very soon. Thanks for being patient with me! XOXO. elsie
