A podcast by MAKENA. Siena and Toast, two Hawaii girls, talk about being gay, Asian-American, mostly-vegan, lessons learned as performing and recording singer-songwriters, and their relationship. Plus, listener contests, laughing, inspiration, and encouragement.
Fri, 22 May 2009 After evaluating our time available vs. our desire to better support listeners and people, we're devoting the upcoming weeks to developing online support pages instead of recording more episodes. We appreciate your understanding. We do plan to resume podcasting, but realized it was impractical to try and do both recording AND sprucing up the site at the same time. Thanks again for your understanding and belief in the podcast. Links Greeting cards online by listener Robert "No-Longer-On-The-Thong" Robert's website Note! California Supreme Court ruling on whether couples can marry if they are gay, is scheduled to be announced at 10 a.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Comments[59] |

If you're hugging someone else's partner, do not rock them. 2. If the person you're hugging is done, be done also. 3. Shield up psychically to protect yourself from over-hugging. 4. For the non-psychic, you can get a Kevlar bulletproof vest here Tips for Getting Gig-Ready 1. Experiment with different keys to find the one that's most comfortable and appropriate for each song. 2. Plan out your schedule the day of the gig. Allow for unexpected delays. At worst, you'll arrive early. Nothing wrong with that. 3. When you settle on a new arrangement or learn a new song, take the time to document it. It'll save you time in the future. 4. Drink a lot of water the day before and day of, to lube up your vocal chords for elasticity, endurance, and strength.
