ice cream truck – 30 apr 2011
You’ve never seen such a mad rush as the rush of kindiefesters when the ice cream truck pulled up outside the venue!!
chloe rocks – 15 mar 2011
Chloe had to be prodded to go up and dance at today’s concert. But once she was up there, it was impossible to get her to stop rockin’ out.
ralphheads, really
Back in 2003 when we first met Ralph, Camille was 4.5 and Chloe was 6 months old, sleeping in the sling. I had a cell phone, but it didn’t take photos and certainly not videos. I can’t remember if I had a digital camera at that point, but I still relied on my SLR film

The girls and I started making trips up to XMRadio to be in the audience of live recordings back in 2006. On our first trip, we left at 1am in order to get there with plenty of time to spare. We’ve taken a large number of weekend trips to DC for concerts since then. The
LEAF with Kids
We returned from our trip to Texas for Austin City Limits on Wednesday evening, spent a day of absolute craziness on Thursday (work, 4+ hours of homeschool classes, grocery shopping, library, gymnastics, unpacking, laundry, packing), and headed out again on Friday. While it made for an extremely stressful turnover, it was well worth it. Friday
Photo Friday: Austin City Limits
It’s hard for me to believe it has already been a week since the first day of our three-days at Austin City Limits. In the four days since, we’ve driven back to Atlanta, unpacked and packed for today’s adventure. But, while we were there, we had a great time. Great music, friends, food, and fun!
special celebrations
As part of our 101 things project, we are taking the time to make sure we celebrate at least one “other” holiday a month. Last month, we celebrated Harry Potter’s (30th) Birthday. In August, we celebrate the fourth anniversary of our kids’ music blog/radio station Gooney Bird Kids. Not only did we replay the first
live in concert โ The Verve Pipe
One of our favorite CDs this year is A Family Album from The Verve Pipe. If you don’t have this CD yet, go check them out, please? We listen to many, many CDs a week, yet this CD has remained in our car for months and months and is requested again and again. The fullness
LEAF โ Day 2
We woke to a very, very windy morning. The night before, both ATMs were broken, so I didn’t want to spend the last of our cash on breakfast. Instead, the girls had hot chocolate and fruit and granola bars, which suited us all fine (Thank goodness for the coffee press gadget that came with the
LEAF โ Day 1
A crazy week, consisting of flying home from NYC, big deadlines at work, unpacking and packing. But then, Friday, midmorning, we were off again! The girls were filled with anxious anticipation over our return to LEAF. We had gone for the first time back in the fall, and they loved it. Rob, unfortunately, could join
kindiefest – industry portion!
While I have a difficult time thinking of myself as an “industry” person, the girls and I headed up to Brooklyn last weekend for the whole of kindiefest. What an amazing experience we had! I loved catching up with old friends and making lots of new ones too. The girls, Chloe in particular, were happy
kindiefest, here we come!
Today we packed. We sure are excited. We are heading, for the fourth year in a row, to Brooklyn! Brooklyn you ask? Yep, my birthplace. But that’s not why we make our (now) annual pilgrimage. As you likely are aware, we run a kids’ music blog and streaming radio station gooney bird kids. We love
A Pizza Party in the Garden
When we left Jammin’ Java two weeks ago, I thought that we wouldn’t see Justin Roberts again until we head to Brooklyn on the last day of April for Kindiefest. When his newsletter came out this week, I realized that he would be in Knoxville while we were in Blue Ridge – a distance of
A Weekend of Justin Roberts is Just Not Enough
36 hours after escaping north Georgia, we hit the road again … back to DC. There’s just something about that city which keeps calling us back! This trip was focused on a fantastic Chicago-based k-rocker, Justin Roberts. I think after Ralph, Justin was the second k-rocker that we ever heard. We haven’t had many chances
live in concert – rocknoceros
We sped our way up I-95 and then across on the ever so fun 123 from Lorton to Vienna to get to Jammin’ Java for tonight’s Rocknoceros Happy Hour! Chloe took a bit of a nap in the car and was slow to wake, but when PINK! started, she was full of bounce. Though even
gustafer!
i wrote about the Gustafer Yellowgold show at Eddie’s Attic on our gooney bird kids blog, but I thought this photo was so cute that I wanted to share it here too. This is Chloe and “Gustafer Junior” in their matching outfits. The first time we saw “junior” he was something like three months old
ralph’s at it again
I have just heard that All Around Ralph’s World will be out on Bar/None Records on February 9, 2010. If you know us, you know we can’t wait to hear it! Last month, when we went to see Ralph’s World perform at the XM Rumpus Room and at Jammin’ Java, we were treated to two
looking for family music?
if you are a regular reader, you’ll probably already realize that I follow the “kids and family” music genre fairly closely and maintain a radio station and blog, Gooney Birk Kids (gbk for short). This weekend, the results of the Fids and Kamily Poll have been released, so if you are looking for some good
YAKMC
yet again today we headed to YAKMC (yet another kids music concert). A shorter drive than most of our concert trips — this one was only about 20-25 minutes away in midtown. We worked our way through the traffic to the Park Tavern by Piedmont park for Grand Day Out. On the bill were The
