From “Fools Gold” in Siberia to “On the way” home
July 16th, 2008 by Lucia ComnesPeople plan and the gods laugh…. right?
My big surprise is that here I am back in the US of A! All explanations shall be revealed as to why I am no longer in Siberia, as originally planned, and how I was able to let go of passing through China on my way home through the East. As it turns out, I had to cancel the tail end of my trip and return home the way I came, backwards West. Read the rest of this entry »

Music from dusk to dawn, and the sun is SHINING!
June 5th, 2008 by Lucia ComnesFor any of you who have yet to visit the Emerald Isle, let me impart to you that the sun in Ireland is a rare and treasured event. The reason Ireland is so green is due to the fact that the damp, the clouds and the rain are constant all year round, aside from the few windows of sunlight that come occasionally and can be counted annually on your own 2 hands.

We must have brought the sun from California, and it makes for a truly enjoyable experience of Ireland at its best! Read the rest of this entry »

I ended up on the same flight from Chicago to Dublin as my drummer, Will Bates, so we crossed the Atlantic side by side, only to meet bassist, Sean Stillinger in the Dublin airport upon arrival. It was raining of course, just to make sure we knew we were in Ireland ; ) Read the rest of this entry »
