hallo loves

so - i took the almost 17-hour journey from islington (london) to echo park (LA) last night with a headcold and i gotta say it was pretty miserable. 

but now i am totally alone (i can remember the last time), drunk on freedom, cozying myself up in a little air bnb paid for by your fine patreon dollars, and i am heading in to make The Record in the next few days. 

i thought it might be fun to post this just to you...this has been my ongoing to-do list from the past week and a half. 

i am a big fan of bullet-journaling and HAND WRITTEN to-do lists. i think it straightens your head and soul out in a way that computer-phone simply does not. there’s also nothing on earth more satisfying than filling in those goddamn little boxes when i get something finished. 

anyway: for your eyes only. this is how i organize my head. this is by no means the entire list of shit i had to do this/last week...there are dozens / hundreds of tasks that michael and hayley and jordan and nick and i keep track of solely through email. but when shit hits the fan ... and especially when i am coming up on album time and want to clear my head of “oh shit i need to remember to...” moments, i get very fucking listy...

if you want to ask me about any of these items, go forth! many of them are personal and many of them pertain to stuff that i haven’t announced publicly. but you only get to pick ONE ;)

see you in the comments. i’ll check back in on this one for the next two days and comment back. you’re my $5+ peeps, i’ll try to answer every question. 

OH 

AND 

if you’re in LA - holler !!! i’m trying to get a handle on how many active patrons are in the area. i have reasons

Welcome to LA! Ride my bike to work from Downtown LA through Echo Park all the time. Break a leg on the recording session. Let us (locals) know if you need anything! Great to know you're close. :)

HOLLER! I am in LA (Los Feliz) and would love to help you out in any way I can (or go on a bookstore date or picnic if you're needing a rest from recording). and I fucking love to-do lists and handwritten things in general. Analog girl in a digital world, man. Everything must be written down.

HELLO I am in LA (living: Hollywood working: Sherman Oaks). WELCOME, we have been waiting for you! All the ninja gigs all the meet ups please. Thank you for sharing your list - long live the listmakers! How do you keep track of them, though? I can't be trusted to bring a journal everywhere and if I write lists on pages I inevitably lose them.

I love that you love bullet journaling. Something about a notebook for everything really opened things up for me this year. I’m exploring journaling and art in a way I never imagined, which I absolutely credit to the way bullet journaling helps clear my thoughts and enjoy the paper and the mess and how it makes me feel like I’m living. Thank you for sharing and everything you do.

In a suburban corner of Los Angeles we’ve saved our best fall weather for you.

I'm fairly close to LA, I go there fairly often - you may have answered already, but what jumped at me was India / Ari Rahman. I hope that is the precursor of something really awesome.

I just saw Robyn Hitchcock last year. It was just him and a guitar in a tiny venue and he was amazing. I distinctly remember thinking shortly after that show that it would be the coolest thing if you two collaborated...so needless to say I'm pretty excited about this possibility Amanda!

I have gone back to written lists and trying the bullet journal. My work BuJo needs a weekly review because I keep losing track of things. I'm definitely too busy. Good luck tackling everything and I hope you feel better soon!
