hello my loves,

for a limited time, alacartoona will be offering both of her cds for $5 apiece on cdbaby.com.  to take advantage of this sale price, you will need to order at least three cds from their $5 sale section.  ordering one copy each of "songs from the show" and "live on the air: kkfi radio" gets you 2/3 of the way there!

maybe you have one of her cds and need the other.  or maybe you have both but are looking for a gift for a particularly libidinous friend.  possibly, you have loved alacartoona from afar but have never purchased her for your personal collection.  no matter the reason, this is your opportunity.  grasp it before it passes.

saturday, 30 january - 6:30 pm

details to come

you know you're a fool for alacartoona. 

half price bottles of wine, beer specials and the $5 alacartini, "the tears of an angel, distilled in hell's cauldron."

warm on the outside, hot on the inside. 

half price bottles of wine, beer specials and the $5 alacartini, "the tears of an angel, distilled in hell's cauldron."

merry christmas, happy holidays, good will and good cheer!  alacartoona wishes you love and happiness in the new year.

from the very first day of 2009, when she was awarded her inspiration grant, to her final show of the year just over a week ago, alacartoona has been rushing forward with little time to rest or reflect.  monthly shows at jardine's; bi-monthly shows at californo's; private and public gigs throughout the city; a full-lenth movie shot, edited and released; a full-length play written, produced and staged--these are the products of her industry.

and now, alacartoona has entered a much-needed period of calm contemplation, of experimentation, of writing and thinking, of exploring and learning.  there is much to be done in 2010--music to record, tours to plan, more plays to stage--but for now, right now, reflection is the goal and the vehicle.

Apocalypse Meow will now be an annual benefit raising funds to go into a Musicans Health Care Fund for Kansas City Musicians in need of emergency medical funds. It is run by the Nonprofit organization Midwest Music Foundation so all donations will be tax deductible. We are doing all we can to help but it doesn't happen without your help as well.

Please join Alacartoona and the cast and crew of "Night Is the Mirror" for a special film premier and DVD release on 17 October, 2009 at the Screenland Theatre at the Crossroads, Kansas City, MO.

The night will feature two showings of the film (7:00 PM and 9:30 PM), with a cocktail reception between for all ticket holders, during which Alacartoona will perform some of her newest compositions in a cabaret setting.  Both showings will include a Q&A with Alacartoona, co-producer Phil Kinen and director Brian Hicks.

DVDs will be available for sale. Doors open at 6:30pm with preshow activities and a cash bar.

“Night Is the Mirror” is a feature-length film that walks the shadowy border between reality and fantasy.  Set in a forgotten cabaret over the course of one night, music and dreams collide in live performances that aren’t live, interviews that don’t answer questions and journeys of great expanses with little progress.  The film was made possible by an Inspiration Grant from the ArtsKC Fund, and through the generous support of PresentMagazine.com, Screenland Theatre, Gravity-Ink and Outpost Worldwide.  Additional funding was provided by fans of Alacartoona.
