a complete list of shows you missed
If 2002 was The Year of the Ross, then I guess 2003 was The Year of the Benefit.
I didn't do a lot of shows -- from July on, the Day Job absolutely ruled my waking life for a solid six months -- but somehow I ended up doing lots of benefit and fund-raising events. (There was actually another one scheduled in August, but it got rained out.) I even got to be part of the pre-show press junkets. The benefits were a lot of fun -- hey, I wouldn't be doing this kind of music if I was in it for the money.
My goal is always to do shows I'd go out to even if I wasn't on the bill, and I got to play a lot more of those this year too, including one more AntiFolk FootStomp with Adam & Sarah and another guest spot at Tom Skinner's Wednesday Night Science Project.
And in October, I got to be a presenter at the Tulsa World's 5th Annual Spot Music Awards. Extra Superfine.
Then the sparse year wrapped up with a show at a church. I even did an irony-free Christmas song -- Bruce Cockburn's "Cry of a Tiny Babe." Go figure.
