MOLLYWOOD U.S.A.: POST BE BRAVE BIRTHING!

Okay it's post birthing of BE BRAVE. The dust is settling. The T-shirts are getting refolded and organized for online sales. Boxes are shifting all around my dining room. Getting my house back in some kind of order. It was so fun! What a night! So so so many AMAZING artist friends came to celebrate and support me. It was truly a magical evening. At one point a girl in painted face and her friend arrived at El Chavito Lounge not knowing what they had stepped into. They had just come from some performance piece at LACMA and were looking to have a drink. I told them they were welcome to stay if they wanted to my little private party then they turned into LEGION! All these painted faced people started to arrive and had to be kindly asked to get out of the prime bar seats or move on out. It was so awkward and basically my fault for inviting them in but I had no clue there were going to turn into a tribe of people. It was kind of comical and surreal. They looked like people from Braveheart! Anyway, I digress.... that was just one quirky part of the evening. The most magical thing happened for me when my good friend Olivia came up to get her CD autographed and she handed me this piece of paper. Olivia's daughter Ava really likes my music and had drawn this for me. In the middle of all the madness I unfolded the paper to find this. She drew a picture of us together. It just grabbed my freaking heart and squeezed it. How cool is this? I thought THIS now THIS is the golden nugget of this night. This is my beautiful reward for being brave and singing my songs. I affected this little 6 year old girl enough for her to make me a drawing of us as queens together!!!! I felt kind of high/elated like I won a prize. Well, it was a PRIZE for me. It was a sign to me that singing and writing these songs is good... it's right and this piece of paper encourages me to keep going. So it's up on my fridge and thought I'd post on my internet/blog "fridge" here as well.

I hope you all get a chance to listen to the new album. I'm so proud of this. John Spiker the producer has just made an amazing album. We had so much fun making this and it was so fun for us to sing some of my songs live and together for the first time EVER. John and I will be doing some gigs together in 2011 to support BE BRAVE. I'll keep you posted on FB and also mollybryantmusic.com. Hey BE BRAVE up at iTUNES as of yesterday. Go check out some samples or listen to the whole album in my store/bandcamp.
