I'm going to be on the radio!
The other night after playing the open mic at the Grafton, I met the lovely Jenna Murfin who has her own radio show. She asked if I would like to come on her show to talk about the Benefit Concert and to play a tune and I, of course, jumped at the chance. My first radio appearance! Made that much more exciting and important by the fact that I'm doing it in the name of the Avon Walk.
So next Wednesday, March 30, tune your radio to 88.7 FM, or if you can't get a signal there, you can listen to it streaming online at WLUW.org. Her show is from 2-4pm (Central Time), and I should be on there somewhere in the neighborhood of 2:30. I'm so excited! Now I just ahve to figure out what song to play...

I got another remix of "Ordinary" for the CD last night and sweet bippy, it's wonderful! I can't wait for you guys to hear all of these songs. I am amazed by how much time and effort and energy went into each remix. They mean so much to me. You guys mean so much to me. Thank you.
I'm waiting on one more song and then the whole thing should be done. I'll keep you posted!

Hey!
Sorry its been a while since I sent you all an update, but things have been kind of crazy. I have some fun, exciting things to share with you, though!
First of all, the Chicago White Sox have teamed up with the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and are offering us one sweet deal. We can sell tickets to the May 15th game against the Orioles (Sammy's new home) and half of the ticket price will go to the Avon Walk. Yes, it's the Sox, but in the name of breast cancer research, even I would go to U.S. Cellular Field. If you are interested, let me know ASAP so I can send in the order while there is still time. Tickets are for the May 15th game at U.S. Cellular Field. Please specify how many you would like and in what price range -- Lower Box are $30 (with $15 going to the Walk), Lower Reserved are $26 (with $13 going to the Walk), and Upper Box are $18 (with $9 going to the Walk). If you are interested, I will get you more information on who to make the checks out to and whatnot. But don't donate directly to the site if you want these tickets! Talk to me first.
Secondly, things are really coming together for the Benefit Concert on April 2. We've got the performers (Phil Circle - PhilCircle.com, Jeremy Babcock - ThirdWheelMusic.com, and me - myspace.com/KittyMortland), we've got the venue (Heartland Cafe), now all we need is to get the word out there! I have postcards and flyers available for anyone who wants to be a sort of "street team" for this event. Just let me know and I will get the materials to you. Or at the very least, mark your calendars for Saturday, April 2 at the Heartland Cafe (7000 N. Glenwood, Chicago) at 9pm. All of the proceeds from your $7 entrance fee will go to the Avon Walk.
Thirdly, the CD is coming together nicely. I can't wait for you guys to hear the remixes of my song "Ordinary!" I will let you all know when it is available for sale.
And finally, training! I can't wait for it to get a little warmer outside so I can start walking through my beloved city of Chicago. In the meantime, I'm exercising at home and keeping up with my cardio work in Floss! every weekend. My foot is feeling much better, so I'm all set to get out there and walk!
Wow. That's a lot of stuff for me to throw at you all at once. Sorry about that. But thank you guys so much for all of the support and enthusiasm you have already shown as I go on this journey. I couldn't do this without you, and for that, I thank you. We are making a difference in the fight against breast cancer. Right now.
