Ho-Ho-tel and a cup of cheer

by Amy Raasch
(Venice, CA)

If Santa were a pirate, that is what he'd say. Then he'd slosh a cup of nog to yours, surrounded by the jubilant laughter of dangerous elves and a couple of tipsy reindeer.

Since Santa's working, we'll see if we can't get Johnny Depp to stand in. Or maybe Keith Richards. In Tinseltown for the holidays, all manner of miracles are possible.

Do join us for a starry evening of holiday music with proceeds to the LAFD "Spark of Love" Toy Drive:

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16, 8:45 PM
HO-HO-TEL CAFE
1623 1/2 Cahuenga Blvd, 90028

With Ingrid Michaelson, Cary Brothers, Jim Bianco, Priscilla Ahn, Tim Jones, Buddy, and more. It's truly not to be missed, so come let me slosh a cup of cheer in your general direction before you head off for the holidays!

My CD, "LOVE OR INERTIA," has been named one of the TOP 25 BEST OF THE YEAR in Music Connection magazine's year-end issue, which hits newstands tomorrow (online 12/10). Thanks MC!

INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS FINALIST: PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO VOTE for my raspberry T-shirt in the Independent Music Awards! It truly makes a difference:

You can't really see from the photo just how adorable and sexy this shirt is, with it's shirred cap sleeves, deliciously soft, body-hugging fit, and intriguing, hand-drawn design (by yours truly) of a map of the heart. This shirt has been so popular that I only have two left! Get 'em while they're hot!

May you be safe, warm, and with those you love best this holiday season.

Glittering love,
Amy
