Girlworld + Rocky Votolato Living Room Tour 2010 = Love
Sweet serendipity! This week we were introduced by our good friend from forever, Erin, to her friend, Jennifer.
Jennifer found out about Girlworld via Facebook without knowing who we were at all. She chose Girlworl to be the fundraising focus for a Rocky Votolato concert she is hosting in her living room this summer. When she invited music connoisseur Erin to the show, Erin was confused as to how Jennifer, an old friend from high school, knew us, old friends from U of W.
Is the magic coming through? We didn’t know each other! Jennifer went looking for a cause she believed in, women’s empowerment, and found li’l old Girlworld! How fantastic is that?
Scott and I were getting all geared up to go shoot a wedding Saturday morning when we got the news. Jennifer asked us via a Facebook message if we were interested in coming to the concert to show the trailer and talk about the film. Umm, ABSOLUTELY!!!
You see, Rocky Votolato is doing a summer living room tour. He is playing for small groups of people in their homes and asking the host to make the evening about more than just the music, but about a cause of their choice. Not only does Rocky Votolato have a mission I admire, I really like his music. (I might have a crush even. Don’t tell him… or Scott. I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.)
We are really excited. You should come to the show! We would love to have you there. I think it is going to be a pretty special night. It is August 7 in Long Beach, Washington! I have never been, but I hear that the beach is perfect for a midnight walk.

Sweet! I think this excerpt from a review of his “triumphant” songwriting matches your project’s spirit perfectly:
“Votolato would rather pull himself out of a gutter than wallow in it, focusing instead on the victory before the misery.”
Rock on.
