Entry #86

(This is the 2nd part of the last entry)  We had a shopping day yesterday and it was so mellow and cool! We walked through Soho just stopping in to all the shops we wanted to and learned about art and high-quality stockings! It’s funny when you actually LIVE here that you get this rhythm going on with your day-to-day and then when you need to do something different and feel the draw to really have a NEW experience, it’s right here already happening and it’s been happening with or without you! Such a tapestry of language, looks, smells, prices, shoulders bumping shoulders as you make your way through the Canal area, and those people chanting,” Purses! Purses! Purses!” sure do sound like geese!    Soon we’ll be visiting Northern California, drinking Hardcore Coffee in Sebastopol and visiting the REAL Magic Mountain (not the amusement park)! By the way, a friend of mine, Alan Watt, just released his album and I happen to be on track 5! You can check his work out or at least have a link to it by going to: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) ~ it’s a great album and I hope you get a chance to listen to it! It’s written, recorded and produced by Alan, who also recorded my Solo cd in 2002. Alan rocks!   Rock on everyone, thank you so much for reading this! I love writing it and sharing with who ever finds it interesting and entertaining!   Regards, Jessica Star *"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose and nothing ain't worth nothing unless it's free"~Kris    

Entry #85

(This was written Thanksgiving weekend and just submitted)  Last night I played at The C Note in the East Village and it was very fun! Dave Dawson played drums with me and that was it, just us two doing a “White Stripes” thang! Last weekend on Saturday night was the Burning Man Decompression Party here in New York and we had it in Long Island City in the middle of wherehouses, at a wherehouse. The crew who put it on really did an amazing job! It was indoor and outdoor, there were fire-spinners and hoolahoopers and lots of people in costume! Once again, go to http://www.burningman.com to learn more about this community/national/international/intergalactic phenomenon! Dave Dawson and I played there at the indoor Main Stage and it was very cool! To see more pictures of me playing and pictures of Burning Man events that we’ve been to go to http://www.benjaminsanders.com  ~I'll write more in the next entry~   Jessica Star
