Creative Creature Community
Vision is a powerful tool. A great musician once told Michael, "If you can visualize your fingers playing the song, it is more effective than practicing hours and hours a day." The more we can imagine and visualize, the greater our accomplishments can be. As a visionary, Michael "sees" how she wants to be involved and ways she can connect and grow. The bigger the community you have, the more vision you can create!
As you know, we have been sharing in a greater mission by cultivating a mind state of sustainability, with our sisters in the arts, for the M.A.L.I. Festival. The festival catalyzed opportunities to connect with the Austin community. We've pulled together resources with the artists at GAGA, repurposed materials in a creative way, making our show attire from donations, got the kids involved with the process of being in a creative community, making band merchandise and learning music with Michael.
The GAGA GALA was a special event. Michael contributed her time and creativity to appreciative participants, who brought her vision into reality.. the construction of her performance materials with the talents of her fans.
This Thursday, May 21, South Congress St. Bridge, 7PM - We are having one final public appearance before the MALI Festival. We'll be hanging out together underneath the South Congress Bridge, with the Austin Bat Colony. Yes, real bats! They were kind enough to pose for our band poster. We'll be jamming, selling festival tickets, and painting together on the Creature Community Canvas! Come out and paint at sunset with the band. They might give you some cake.
And tomorrow, tune in to KOOP 91.7FM, at 11am to hear another local artist, Joanna Barbera and the director of the M.A.L.I Festival, P.O.W., do an in-studio interview on "What's a girl to do?"
And tune in again on May 25th, 11am for Michael's on-air appearance!! P.O.W. and Michael share their mission and their vision and set the stage for the Women's Film and performance Arts Festival, just 10 days away!!

Hello Everyone!
Sustainable living through identifying what we can do to extend the lifespan of nonrecyclable items and building community that supports experimentation and creative solutions: Michael actually collected her trash for a week, like Dottii recommended, to see what her consumer patterns were like. Understanding the "reduce waste" mindset not only cut the amount of things she threw out by 3/4ths, but also extended her creatively in her home activities by finding ways to repurpose, (Who knew that was possible!) and has generally cultivated a sense of personal responsibility and mindfulness.
Michael Creature is Joan of Art (oh wait, that’s her guitar’s name!) She is coalescing with dynamic organizations that share the common goals of education, cooperation, sustainability, and creativity!
