My Official Entry: The pic I'm entering is from the Langerado Music Festival in Florida. I dressed as the 'No Rain' bee girl on the day of Blind Melon's performance. I was running to make it to the show (b/c it was quite a process 2 get all of it put on in a 3 person tent beforehand) and I was yelling for everyone to go into the venue for the Blind Melon show. I put this costume together piece by piece and was dying the fabric a day b4 leaving... and my mom was frantically sewing the sequin top while we were supposed 2 bee on our way to the airport... I'm a bit of a procrastinator since I planned on making the outfit a few months b4 This is just an entry for fun because I've already purchased the 'For My Friends' package altho another cd would alwaze be great since they eventually skip with a ton of use... like I plan on giving the cd. I've been promoting the release of this CD as soon as the release date was announced on my myspace pages AlisonMelon and AlisNWonder and my myspace group... groups.myspace.com/BlindMelonTribe Blind Melon means soooooo much more to me than a picture, essay, or even a novel could ever describe... this music has saved my life and is like a lifeline for me til my soul is released. I bring the words of these men with me EVERYWHERE and let EVERYONE who asks about my music taste know what this band means to me! This is a clickable thumbnail pic due to how big it is...

My April is booked pretty solid, so for my entry I am going to cheat (a little) and recycle one of my past works. This is the video I made that chronicles the 4 shows I saw on the very first leg of this tour back in October. I was lucky enough to catch the very first night in Providence and the Nico show in Chicago in addition to shows in New york and Pittsburgh on that first run. This video is my tribute to the greatness of it all....
enjoy.
