Still recovering from last week's amazing HONK! Festival with Clamor & Lace Noise Brigade and Yes Ma'am Brass Band. I love the activist brass community and the people who welcome us into *their* communities to play and rage and create joy together.

Chicago: wanna book or host a show with a small but mighty marching band? Clamor & Lace Noise Brigade a band composed solely of--and focusing on music by--people of marginalized genders. We're also known for our shiny costumes, high-energy performances, and commitment to good causes.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is sight-reading brass arrangements of Christmas carols for all to hear. And I do mean "all."

Journal, 1988 (age 10): "Putting up a Christmas tree is like reliving the past. Every ornament has a memorable secret--and talking, laughing, and listening to Christmas music, you can find them out."

This is my preschool classroom kindness tree. We're capturing times we're kind to others, times others are kind to us, and times we see kind things happening in the world around us. Look at all those kind things that have happened in the last two weeks! That is pretty awesome.
