minor brush with fame: apparently my kids go to school with the daughter of Brandi Carlile, and we went to her place yesterday for a kiddo b-day party. lovely, lovely person & family living on a stunning piece of land... just gorgeous. got a peak at her piano/band room, and her dedicated "writing cottage"... the wannabe musician in me was insanely jealous at her setup. most of her band & touring team were also at the party, as they are also family & in-laws. contemplated sneaking a selfie with her 11 grammys but decided against it. played a massive game of capture of flag and am still recovering from it.
