blog post Your Perfect Valentine's Day Date Contest Is Over
Posted in Contest on Feb 12, 2008 at 2:30 AM
Current mood: happy
And we have a winner!! Congratulations Kaye G!!! Here is her perfect date:

Kaye G
Feb 10th, 6:01am
My perfect Valentine's Day will be spent with the man I was meant to find, am lucky enough to love and have missed holding in my arms for over eighteen months now. This past eight months has been exceptionally difficult with distance and circumstance not allowing us to be together and there were times when I wondered if he'd still be there when I came home; for awhile it felt like fate was teasing us. Just about when I'd given up hope, I received a CD in the post from him and it had a little note to listen to "One Sweet Love" on it...It was my very first introduction to your music, Sara...but it was also like a light in my heart that he was still there and would be.

He doesn't know that I'm coming home early...but I'm arriving on his doorstep the early evening of Valentine's Day...going to knock on the door and when I see him...the only real plan is to hug him for the next few hours. My gift to him will be the manuscript that our time apart allowed me to complete where he can read the dedication in it that is a special thank you to him.

I am the first girl he ever said the words "I love you" to and he is the one man I never want to think about being without.

My perfect Valentine's Day date is being with my very best friend in the whole world. He is my one sweet love.

Thank you to everyone who entered and I hope you all have a perfect Valentine's Day!!

it's the last day of the year and i have spent the better part of the day riding bikes in the sunshine, and off to a friend's place for a low key new year's eve. Had too many frustrating times chasing the party, you know? I finally feel like we ARE the party. And we are worth going to. And it's important to bring us stuff when you come. Or something like that.
ahem.

Anyhoo. just checking in to say you all have lost your minds or something because Love Song is going ballistic and now it's like on the billboard top ten. I haven't quite wrapped my brain around that yet, but if it IS all true, than i owe you guys sushi or something. wow. and wow. thank you so much for sharing this music with your friends. And thanks for not telling them I bribed you with sushi so you would. I truly heart you.

I'm feeling pretty wonderful. i bought some tulips for my table, and they are just the happiest little flower in the whole world. And I bought Ani DiFranco's Canon. And I can't get it out of my cd player. It seems to be the only thing I want to hear lately. And I know that this next year holds so many new things for all of us. OH MY GOSH! Our big news!! We are getting a bus for the James Blunt tour! I feel like we're actually a real touring band now. I can't wait to name the thing. I live for that shit. We can officially stop pulling up to shows in our adorable white van with the busted door full of fast food wrappers and gatorade bottles. Now you can't actually see the garbage from the street. Here's to invisible garbage!....
Pretty freakin awesome.

i can't wait for next year. Its so fun to say that when next year is tomorrow. Makes tomorrow seem like something really cool. And it is. I wish you all the most amazing tomorrows. They hold whatever you want them to.
love to you all...

blog post ode to seattle (and you) - written Dec. 8th

ode to seattle (and you)

The thick grey clouds settle heavy on the tree tops and the woman on the airplane loud speaker is telling us about trying to get out of here on time, and I just keep thinking about how i don't really want to leave. But I do. But i don't.
We had our last show of the year last night at the beautiful Paramount theatre in Seattle. We stayed a block away and got to feel the hustle and bustle of the tourist ridden downtown area. The city is sprinkled with christmas lights and horse-drawn carriages as bundled up people laden with packages spilled out onto the streets from the shops and warmly lit buildings that lined the avenues. As beautiful as the surroundings were, we were fairly down-trodden going into the show, just feeling a bit beat up. It's been a long (incredible) year, and an even longer week, and to be honest our energy was so low, just getting through the show would have felt great. But oh my god, the audience was sent from the heavens above. They were so interested and supportive and loving and it felt incredible. We played four songs, and they cheered at all the right moments and roared with applause in between songs, and jumped to their feet at the end. And I stood there, dumbstruck and once again, amazed at how insanely magical this all can be.

I don't know if I'm feeling nostalgic as the year is ending (most likely, yes) but it was such a sweet ending to these past few weeks and months of almost daily flights and shows and different city after different city. I know i get to go home today. I know my little christmas tree is waiting for me, no lights yet, and probably no water anymore, but that's beside the point. This year has been full of wonderful moments and experiences that i could never have projected in a million years. There are so many faces that stick in my brain that i get to think of and remember...knowing it all stems from the connections that get made through music. As I'm heading home for the holidays the best gift in the world is to know that this whole ride continues and I actually get to be on it. I'm honored to be a passenger for as long as it'll have me....and I'm so deeply grateful to all of you for your support and amazing energy that is the biggest part of this whole thing.

I hope that this year has been a year of growth and change and wonder for all of you, and that the next one brings more of the same beautiful things.


Happy Holidays.

love love love love,
s

241 Miles From Home (written Nov. 16th)

I haven't seen Los Angeles on a road sign in a little over two months and we all just erupted into screams of triumphant laughter as we are only a short 4 hours from home now… Home for real this time. It's 4:55pm, I'm cuddled in the back of the van with a purple blanket, we're just outside Las Vegas and the sky looks dark and brooding. But the lights of that shell station with the slot machines were bright and cheery. I only lost five bucks this time…(eight if you count the black jack machine in that other gas station. I choose not to count that, thanks. ) I feel like celebrating and it's only fitting that it's Friday night. J

I feel oddly like we've come to the end of summer camp or something. It makes me want to write a speech to say at the farewell dinner… something along the lines of "nobody puts Baby in the corner" but I don't have the choreography figured out yet. And we don't actually have a farewell dinner, other than Arby's….So I'll settle for talking to You. That amazing You that is a bunch of different things for me; an audience member, a friend, a diary, a judge, a home. You choose to come here and pay attention to what I have to say, and give Your two cents and basically just fill up all this empty space with wonderful, wonderful You.
The past year has been a whirlwind, and so much of it is strange and surreal, but it all sits very close to my heart and I'm constantly reminding myself to enjoy this beautiful ride. I know I have a knack for getting all heady about everything, but I can't tell you how incredible it is to have been thinking about all this for forever and ever, and now it's coming to life. Like that séance scene in Beetlejuice where Kathrine O'hara's character gets the wedding clothes of the two ghosts and at first the clothes are laying on the table empty-and then they fill up with life. Well, actually they fill up with green versions of Gina Davis and Alec Baldwin, but that's beside the point. It's all strange and wonderful, none the less.
We actually hear this music on the radio. Like, fuh real, doh. And it's actually STILL happening. And it's starting to happen more often! Little Voice is in stores in Japan! People know the words to this music in places I've never been before! We have shared stages with some of my favorite artists in the world. What the EFF?! I've been offered my own flavor of Ben and Jerry's! I'm calling it CaramelandBananareilles.
(False. Stay with me, people.)
I just want to take time and acknowledge. So many people are working very hard to give us a fair shot…I'm so grateful. And I also want to give so much love to my incredible band mates and road warriors. They are truly the glue that makes this whole sticky thing work. We have so much fun together, even when we hate each other…and I wouldn't change a thing. Except for all those times we stayed in shitty hotels. And all the times they are CONVINCED they're right and I'm not. But then again, they learned that from me. I love you boys.
I'm incredibly lucky and honored to have been offered a chance to share music in my life and this lovely world. Thank You so so much for taking part in that.
Goodnight, lovely world.
I'm going home.
