Hey Jubifans! Steven here.
Thanks to you who came out to the High Dive and hung out with us this week! We were filled with glee as we fell from the heights of Wednesday night into the shiny waters of music and friends. Thanks also to both Taryn from Lawn-dree and Bryce from Yuni in Taxco for sharing your drum kits with me! Mine is still mic'd up for recording, so I'm super thankful for your generosity.
Also, everyone at the Moore Theater last night knows the kind of walk down a refurbished memory lane I'm talking about when talking about the Seattle Rock Orchestra playing the songs of David Bowie this week. What a show! Emily did a fantastic job, and was in Bowie-suit with stars painted on her face amidst the bright colors and lightning on the rest of the orchestra. I forgot how much I love some of Bowie's songs.
In recent IJM news, ABC did a short feature on the Cambodian Sex Trade and showed some of IJM's partners' aftercare facilities for rescued victims. It's encouraging to see the lives of children being restored through advocacy and after-care facilities, while at the same time heartbreaking to know that millions of women and children are still trapped in slavery. I strongly encourage you to watch the video. It's just a few minutes long and gives a sober but hopeful look at both the injustice and recovery that is taking place in the world. We can celebrate and be motivated to keep up the work of abolition!
If I were a robot, I would tell you that our practice today was a combination of thousands of sine waves. But I'm not a robot, so I can say today's practice was THE JAM. We're excited for the Jubigrooves comin' your way, and our Jubibaby Harper Sparrow is comin' in April. Hey!
