Tuneful Tuesday โ European Playground
One thing that I love to do before a trip is to try to prepare myself and the kids for the place we are heading, especially when it is a new place for us to go. I get books, movies and music that relate to the place in some way. For movies, I look for
Billy Jonas Live at XM
Last Friday (how have I gotten so far behind??), we were lucky enough to be able to get to see Billy Jonas live in the XM LiVE Performance Studio (aka Rumpus Room). Along with getting to go to an awesome live concert, we also met up with new and old friends. Everyone was so nice,
Kindie Brooklyn
For the third year in a row (2007 and 2008), we headed to Brooklyn to the gathering of the “kindie” music scene, now called now called kindiefest. What fun it was to see so many of our favorite musicians and our online friends all gathered in one spot! The girls got the chance to participate
The Sippy Cups at the Rumpus Room
Tonight we went to one of my favorite places to be – XM Radio. We saw a great band The Sippy Cups perform in the Rumpus Room … where else can you catch juggling, sumo wrestling, unicycle riding, and plate spinning live on the radio?? Chloe and Camille sang everyone waiting for the show; I
DC Concerts
DC was hopping this week for kids’ music. We just couldn’t fit it all in! We went to Jammin’ Java in Vienna TWICE, once to see Secret Agent 23 Skidoo and then again for Rocknoceros’s big PINK! CD relesae party. We went to the most awesome of venues, the White House, where we took in
Rockin’ Out With Uncle Rock
Last night we headed out of the heart of DC, straight into the heart of Philly. The hotel is wonderfully located, so we left the car there and walked over to World Cafe Live after swimming and breakfast. WCL hosts a fantastic series of kids’ show called “Peanut Butter and Jams” and it seems everybody
more music
This weekend at Eddie’s Attic, Ellis Paul came to play! We’ve seen Ellis there before, but the crowd was thin. This time the house was packed! We are so excited to see so many people come out on a Saturday afternoon for a kids’ concert. It is such a relief to us that people are
robbie, robbie schaefer
yesterday, we were so excited to get to see Robbie Schaefer put n a kids’ concert in Decatur! He’s one of the Kids Place Live (XM?Sirius 116) DJs that we love listening to. Instead of being ten hours away, he was only ten minutes away, performing some of his kids’ music live on stage. It
Sunday in Baltimore
Our ZipCar reservation started at 10:30, so we had a little bit of time his morning to get breakfast and get packed for our overnight trip to Baltimore. We ended up with a bright red Jetta, that the girls just loved! On the way to Baltimore, we stopped at Target to get (yet another) swimsuit
City Saturday
We headed out around 8am this morning and stopped at the bagel place to get some breakfast. Only one guy was doing everything, so it took us quite some time to get out. By the time we walked the two blocks to the bus stop, it was just about time for the bus to come,
Live on the Farm
Yes, you read that right! The KPL Fans went to the Animal Farm this morning! And Chloe says that it doesn’t small bad. Chloe’s other observation is that everything on the farm is “awkward”. We had such a great time hanging with Kenny! We listened as he took some calls, including one from the kid
Music Saturday
This morning, we listened to a wonderful Kids Place Live speical, Ellis Paul and Robbie Schaefer together in the “real Tall Tree.” (If you don’t know what that means, go get a trial XM subscription and find out.) When we walked into Eddie’s Attic for a Gustafer Yellowgold show, we were greeted by the sight
Lunch, At Long Last
As you may or may not know, along with having our own kids’ music station/blog, Gooney Bird Kids, we also run the Kids Place Live Fans blog. (KPL is the kids’ station on XM/Sirius Satellite Radio.) We’ve been fortunate enough to get to attend four different concerts in their Rumpus Room; the latest one being
SteveSongs Came to Atlanta!
I think I first heard of SteveSongs when I picked up one of his CDs on the “used” table at the library. That was years ago! We listened a bit, but were still held by gravity on Ralph’s World and not ready to begin our adventure yet. I think the next we hear Steve was
Dirty Sock Funtime Band
Wow, how has a whole week gone by since we went to the concert at the Ferst Center! Again, Rob found a concert that I had not heard of. I think I’m losing my touch. He forwarded me a mail of the upcoming concerts at Georgia Tech, which included this one featureing The Dirty Sock
Ralph’s World XXIV
I haven’t made an exact count, but I think this was something like our 24th time to see Ralph’s World in concert, not counting Bad Examples shows, house parties and when we see two sets/concerts on the same day… And we never get bored! Well, Camille might be starting to get bored by it all,
House Party
On Thursday, the girls and I left DC around noon and drove right to the airport in Atlanta to pick up Rob. We got home around midnight. Friday, the girls and spent the day preparing for the big party! We went to the grocery store for food and also managed to get to the car
Two new URLs
A friend suggested that I get some new URLs. Because I don’t have enough online presence (twitter, facebook, myspace, multiple blogs, picasa, 3 flickr accounts, multiple email addresses and so on … ) http://www.gooneybirdkids.comhttp://www.xmkfans.com As of now, they just redirect to Blogger blogs. No plan for them to do anything more at the moment.
Camille on Radio 8 Ball
I already posted this over on our gbk radio blog, but not everyone follows the kindie music scence (though I don’t know why not), so I’m putting it here too. I posted here (Radio 8 Ball) that she had participated, but now that the archive/podcast is available on line, I’ll post again. Radio 8 Ball
