photo friday: my happy place
A couple *months* ago, while Camille and I were in NYC for Kindiefest, we were honored to be invited up to the Sirius Fishbowl for a Kids Place Live Special Live Concert. A number of our favorite artists came together in one place to collaborate on each other’s songs. It was a wonderful time for
Chloe’s Birthday Missions
At last, Chloe is nine! Sure, her birthday was almost a month ago, but she had not completed her birthday missions. Birthday missions? What are those you ask? Ah, well, to the listeners of the Absolutely Mindy show on Kids Place Live, these are the tasks that one must complete to become a year older.
live in concert: OneVoice Rocks!
When I first heard about the OneVoice Rocks! Festival, I knew the girls and I had to get there. Some of our favorite bands (SE rockers Lunch Money, Seattle’s Best Recess Monkey, hometown hero Robbie Schaefer) coming together? To play live music? For a great cause? Near where we love to be? How could we

Photo Friday: Hanging out at Sirius/XM in NYC
Last Friday, we were fortunate enough to be invited to attend an amazing concert being broadcast live on the air from the recording studio high above Rockefeller Center. What an honor it was for us to get to hang out with so many of our musician friends, wander in and out of the green room
My Happy Place was A World of Happiness
After our ramble through Central Park last Friday, we stopped in Rockefeller Center for some lunch and window shopping before making our way to the 36th floor of the McGraw Hill building. Upon signing the visitor log, I could see that this was going to be an amazing afternoon. A page filled with the names
weekend report – day one
I can’t believe how long it has been! Just a bit short of a year since we’ve been to my ultimate happy place … The XM recording studio in Washington, DC! Finally, after a year of conflicts, we got back up there this weekend to see Dog on Fleas in the Rumpus Room. Not only
sirius/xm – 21 jan 2011
Up at 6:30 after having arrived at midnight, out the door with breakfast in hand by 7:30am, Union Station by 11am. Then off to my happy place at Sirius/XM! Well worth the logistical challenge …
Robbie’s Return
Randy might love LA, but we love XM, Kids Place Live in particular. We find the hosts to be amazing folks, who love what they do and love the kids they “meet”. While Mindy is Chloe’s BFF+.5, Chloe has had a crush on Robbie Schaefer for a long time. Robbie’s a funny, sweet, talented guy
music high above the streets of manhattan
all this travel to hear good music has made me fall behind on recapping the shows! On Friday afternoon in Manhattan, we headed up from lunch in Bryant Park with my cousin and found our way into 1221 Avenue of the Americas, right there in Rockefeller Center! A bit confused about what to do when
live in concert – The Verve Pipe
We parked in our usual parking spot at Union Station, went to the bookstore and then walked up to XM to see The Verve Pipe in the Rumpus Room. The sidewalks were mostly clear, so the walk was actually quite pleasant. As we got to XM, Kenny came out the front door, so we stopped

favorite things
the girls and I have some favorite things. one is to go to Ralph’s World concerts. Another is to go to concerts at XM radio in Washington, DC. I went back and forth on whether to make the trip this year (we did last year, but had the added bonus of seeing Rob who was
Peter Himmelman in the rumpus room
Our year in DC is coming to a close. While I doubt that it was our last Rumpus Room Concert (we had been to 3 or 4 before this year), it is our last for a while. And what fun it was! A nice crowd came out to see Peter Himmelman. I wasn’t sure if
Lunch Money in the Rumpus Room
Today we were thrilled to get back to the Rumpus Room at XM in DC after over a month and see Lunch Money perform live in the XM LiVE Performance Studio! We always love to hear Lunch Money live, and while we heard a couple of the new ones in NY, we heard another couple
Brady Rymer at XM – 12 Jun 2009
Yesterday, we were excited to get back to the Rumpus Room at XM in DC and see Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could perform live in the XM LiVE Performance Studio! We’ve seen them a couple times before, once in Georgia, and love his enthusiasm, music and smile. And even cooler, Barbara came
Randy Kaplan at XM
Yesterday, we were excited to get back to the Rumpus Room at XM in DC for our third time in May! It was so great to see Randy Kaplan perform live in the XM LiVE Performance Studio! We’ve seen him a couple times before, but never for a full show, and it was great! We
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,
