Thanks All for the Un-B Day wishes!! It was a great day for the final Un-Birthday. I'm still cleaning up so you know it was good!

A request to please leave your pets at home today if you're planning on coming over. It's too hot and there would be way too many dogs. I'm sorry because I love all the pups so much but I can only do so much. ❣

Going to the New Iron Horse tonight to see the amazing Betty LaVette! I am thrilled!

Bettye LaVette is a true legend with a musical career spanning more than 60 years, she is now rightly recognized as one of the finest vocalists and one of the great interpreters of song. Her discography spans five decades, but it is within the past decade that she has finally been recognized as one....

Seriously one of the best musical days I have in years. Doing a solo singer songwriter in the round is one of the hardest things for me with my hands in the shape they're in but I did it. The audience was amazing the other singer songwriters were incredible and all in all it was one of the best musical times ever! Thank you to A.J. Kiernan for booking me and David Herrera for the amazing sound. Thank you to Lost Towns Brewing for being a most supportive place for original music and great brew! Thank you to the complete audience for being so respectful and loving. You have renewed my belief in hand made music!! A special thank you to the other 3 women singer songwriters Serena May Smith, Valerie Newman Music and Cara, who I had the honor of sharing this event with. You all made a mark in my heart!

LOUDville PLAYground
Rules and general information

We are Eva, Ernie and Quinn is our Husky we live here this is our home. We are also no longer as young as we used to be.
We work very hard on our gardens and our grounds are non toxic. We do not used chemical fertilizers or pesticides. We do NOT allow to***co products here either. We care very much about the wildlife here that lives in and around our yard. That being said we do not want to disturb the amazing balance we have worked so hard to develop here. Sometimes it takes days for things to recover after a large event. The cleaning up has become more difficult for us as well.
We will be limiting the size of our crowds here from now on do to the work involved and the care and maintenance of our yard also the protection of our feathered and fuzzy friends.
We will not be serving food any longer, it all has become too much work and expense so you may bring your own food and beverages and we will supply cool water for hydration.
Please clean up your own area and use the garbage and recycle containers we will provide for you.
The bathroom is in the house. Please do not leave the doors open as the heat from outside will take over and we've often got the air conditioner on. Please leave the bathroom clean, there are paper hand towels provided for you to use. Please do not linger in the house. If you're interested in seeing my art Journals or any of the hand made items I make, let me know and I will give you a tour.

There are often wasps and other annoying bugs to be found here, Most of these wasps are non stinging but some will sting if aggravated. I will have a first aid kit that has Bentonite Clay for bee stings. If you are allergic to bees and have an (epi pen) please bring your pen with you. I make all natural plant based bug sprays that do not kill but will help bugs to not want to be near you. You must continue to reapply this form of spray throughout the day as it will loose it's abilities. It's cool and refreshing and will not poison you or anything else so it shouldn't be a big hassle to spray yourself a few times throughout the day you might even enjoy it!
If you're coming to play or are the feature please try and come at 2PM and get your gear in the music area. Please help to support the other musicians if you are the feature and don't come to just do you set and leave. You don't have to stay for the entire day of course but breezing in and out and not connecting with us or the other people is not what we're about. I'm sorry to have to say it but it has happened.

We work hard here on the yard please be respectful of our plants, (some of which are food) and don't trample them or throw food, drinks or anything-else on them.

DO NOT LET THE HUSKY OUT OF THE YARD!
If you see he has gotten out please sound all alarms. All events will come to a close if he gets out because we have to catch him quickly. Husky's run very fast and he could be miles away or worse hit by a car in a heartbeat. Do not attempt to feed the Husky either. He eats only when I feed him and he eats only a raw frozen diet and he only gets treats for a task.

DONATIONS
We survive on them.
We offer you a day in our small peaceful paradise and this is all we ask
Thank you all for understanding our new rules and expectations
Let's enjoy summer and have some fun!!
