from the site: "we’ve booked all kinds of spaces. It can be residential, commercial, community, or any other space where you can host a private gathering. Bonus points for being centrally located! The space should comfortably and safely hold at least 35 people..."

but like town halls, social gathering spaces, recording studios, good sized record stores, i don't know what places look like in scotland - the whole point of this kind of tour is to purposely NOT play trad venues which make touring economically unfeasible, and she'll only go places that apply!

these are three really incredible - and sometimes incredibly hard to listen to - songs. but they all just feel like leaves turning and the air taking on that distinctive scent of fall. always smelled like charcoal burning at a great distance to me. akron/family: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ2S...

i just put three of my absolute favorite fall / autumnal songs back on my mp3 player. 1) songs: ohia, "farewell transmission" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Lhc...) 2) akron/family "don't be afraid, you're already dead" and 3) rock plaza central, "we've got a lot to be glad for". other two links below!

i will make a thread this week! i definitely cheated a little bit; si likes to focus on and lead off with one central object, but i couldn't decide and at least got to talk a little bit about several!
