last night was wonderful. i was going only on memory of how phenomenal redheaded stepchild was, and was blown away all over again. kathryn koch, their lead singer, stomps & growls & wails (on her saxophone,too), and is in many ways reminiscent of janis joplin. i've never experienced anyone singing that powerfully in person before, besides kathryn (

Oh hooray! You got to see them and the "heartbreak hotel" bus, which I haven't seen yet but have heard the whole saga of. Where did you see them, Fogartyville I assume?

oh okay you just answered my question. we're overlapping LOL.

well i think that is really nifty that you're friends with kathryn. she's an inspiration to me, although i haven't seen her perform all that many times. this is a small world!!

yes indeed. I ended up doing their website by accident. I had offered to host the site for them, and they gave me a website that someone else (in school for computer design) made but when I went to upload it....blank. 48 hours (and many desperate phone calls) later I had the first draft of redheaded-stepchild.com up, knowing bumpkiss (sp?) about HTML. Now Kathryn has surpassed me in that as well. Well, if you get to talk to her again at the festival you'll have to tell her you know Madge.

Re:

i only just realized that you designed their website! i hadn't even noticed that on your profile before. how did that come about? are you friends with them, or do people hire you to design websites, or what? i'm so curious now.
