ANNE E.'S JOURNAL -February 27, 2008

Febrauary 27, 2008

Hello hello to you all!

Well, I'm home from Nashville. I attended two workshops while there. They are very challenging I must say. But its good for me. The bar has been raised and I'm a participant.

I am heading in to my last shows here in Cleveland before heading to Nashville.

This Thursday I'll be at The Cleveland Public Theater performing once again in The Vagina Monologues. I will be performing, "My Vagina Was My Village". This is a sad and difficult piece. I did it once two years ago. If you'd like to attend please visit www.utvsneo.org for tickets

The Vagina Monologues, Thurs., Feb. 28 @ 8p.m. @ The Cleveland Public Theatre (6415 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44102, (216)631.2727) A Queen Bee Production.

On Friday I will be at The Colonial Marketplace at the Euclid Arcade at 12 noon until 1:30pm.

Saturday, March 1st will be my last performance at The Nickel. Ill be there with the full band celebrating the years that we've enjoyed there and my leaving. We have had a blast performing at the Nickel and I am grateful to the club and to Patti for hosting us so many times throughout the years. Get out your Second Class Citizen T-Shirt! Patti has aked that her staff wear the Second Class Citizen T-shirts and would like all of you to wear yours!! (if you don't have one they will be only $10 at the show!) Show begins at 10pm. Get there early! I think its going to be a full house. Admission is $6.00. I'd like to also let you know that ALL T-shirts will be $10.00 Saturday night and of course, we will have cds there. So if you'd like one, nows the time.

Once the posters were put up for the final shows at The Nickel and The Winchester, we have had inquiries about purchasing autographed copies. Well... we have decided, rather than the usual paper posters, to offer a high quality, lasting momento FINE ART PRINT of the same poster art! Prints of both final show posters are available through the website and will be ready for you to pick up AT THE SHOWS! Use this link to view them and get more info! http://www.anneedechant.com/posterprints.html

March 7 the band and I will be on Fox 8 Morning Show. Well be on around 7am! Ugh. It is not easy getting up at 4:30am. But well be there. Then at 9 ish Ill be on 105.7FM on the Lanigan and Malone Show. Well talk about my move to Nashville, my music and my upcoming show at Joseph Beth Books on March 14th.

On the evening of March 7th, I'lll be at Jimmys Caf in Cuyahoga Falls at 8pm. It will be my last performance there as well. Its a great intimate setting at Jimmys. Get there early for a seat.

Also I have to add that on Sat., March 14 @ 7p.m. I will performing at Joseph Beth Books (Legacy Village, 24519 Cedar Rd. in Lyndhurst, OH). I'll be there with Pete Cavano. This is a good opportunity for children to catch a show. Joseph Beth has been very kind to me. Not only have they sold many of my cds but they have helped to do that by putting my music on their listening station. That's rare and I surely appreciate it. So come on out to the show next Saturday. Listen to the music and find a great new book in the beautiful setting.

A reminder that on March 21st the band and I and many special guests will be at the Winchester for my final show in Cleveland. Its going to be a very special night. All reserved tickets have been sold but you can reserve your general admission ticket if you visit www.anneedechant.com/tickets.html.
I hope you can make it out to the celebration.

I will be in touch after my move to Nashville, keeping up with you weekly. I want to let you know about what's going on as I pursue my career as a songwriter. Its going to be a big challenge.

I thank you all once again for all the support you have given me over the course of many years here in Cleveland. My memory is long. Many good things are to come and I think its going to be exciting to see all that unfolds.

I hope to see you at one of the shows that are happening in the next month.

Peace,

Anne E.
