2013 Resolutions (with commentary)
- Photograph more with film and begin “the transition” (Super excited to check this one off! I’m building a new website to showcase the film work and reflect that I am an analog shooter! Woop woop!)
- Continue to grow and push the envelope with White Rabbit Studios (free wedding websites with bookings, handmade albums, letterpress recipe cards, other goodies) (I did the letterpress recipe cards! I have someone working on handmade albums! I hired a designer for invites and such…so I’m allowing myself to check this one off the list! Of course now that I’m shooting film, my packaging has changed again – but I’m keeping it all local and fabulous!)
- Start selling some of my vintage collection (either in the store or online again) (Haven’t really done this…but there have been steps in this direction!)
- Get the wheels in motion for another Hi-Fi Wedding Fest (OMG IT’S HAPPENING – JANUARY 25TH 2014!!!!)
- Go on tour with The Porcharitas (even a long weekend would be fun!) (We played several shows, but no real “tour”)
- Spend a weekend unplugged from the internet on a fun adventure with Andy (This happened numerous times! We are thinking of adopting our friend Franklin’s No Screen Sunday attitude as well)
- Set up our screen printing/darkroom equipment (womp womp…didn’t happen but that’s ok…there are steps that have been taken to make this a reality)
- Expand our garden/build a green house (We expanded the garden, but no greenhouse just yet)
- Go on more walks, drink more tea/water (check, check and check!)
- Visit California (HOLY CHECK MARK YES SAN FRAN WAS AWESOME!!!)
- More Yoga! (check!)
- Help host a kickass festival (HAPPENIN’ FEST WAS RAD!)
- Write at least five songs (wrote ’em, but haven’t done anything with ’em!)
- Start recording live shows and blogging them (While we actually did record several shows, I’ve yet to blog them…)
- Another label to want to put out Porcharitas’ first album. (still need to finish that project lol)
- Keep up with my personal blogging (I always catch up…but I need to get better about blogging more “in time”)
- Revitalize Crash Boom Bang! Theatre (hopefully everything in the pipeline for CBB flows through!) (definitely did a few videos and the Halloween show…but since theater is a drug to me, I NEEDS MOAR!)
- Finish the upstairs (this is a huge undertaking…even to accomplish part of this will be incredible!) (OMG WE DID IT WE DID IT WE DID IT!!! Definitely the most satisfying check mark of all!)
- Go to the beach (this needs to be a “must” every year.) (Happened not only once, but twice!)
