Hello Everybody!

Two items of interest. One: let me tell you about performing at the Oregon Country Fair, where we spent the weekend in the warm embrace of Hippie love. Two: the very first Gisele audio storytelling special, The Gisele MP3 Show, is now available for your listening enjoyment!

The Oregon Country Fair

It comes alive for 3 days every year in the woods outside Eugene, Oregon. Gisele was invited to tell some stories there this year, and so we got to camp out all weekend with the other performers and the volunteers who create the fair – it was a huge honor and a huge blast, getting to be part of their family.

Everyone relaxing, everyone chipping in their talents to make the community work, all manner of costumes and creative dress-up, delicious food, beautiful nature – it was incredible and inspiring.

(I especially loved at night at our camp, the musicians of the group got together for impromptu jam sessions. These were master-caliber musicians – serious, world class talent. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! How sweet it was to sway to, fall asleep to and wake up to such incredible music.)

The Gisele MP3 Show!

The other cool thing: for the fair we created Gisele’s first ever, hour-long audio storytelling special: THE GISELE MP3 SHOW! Seven of Gisele’s best stories of heroic-ish adventures in one hour, loads of laughs and surprises. If you missed it in Oregon, luckily the internet crosses state lines, so it’s available here for downloading and sharing! It’s just $5. Just $5? Just $5!

Much love, and thank you to the Oregon Country Fair for making me feel so welcome.

Love, Jonna
Love, Gisele
