New Look, New Year

Hi everyone!!
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a safe and fun time welcoming the New Year! The website has a new look now as well. A frame was added at the top with all of the places where you can find me and connect with me on the Web. It's pretty cool, like a one-stop shop! We are also working on building my fanclub page and Reinmakers Street Team page next. I get impatient sometimes and want things done right away, but it's going to take time and it's going to be well worth it!
The Holidays were fun, I ate a lot, a lot, a lot!!! But New Year's ended the food celebration and I was back to boring, I mean healthy eating on the 1st. ha! I have the biggest sweet tooth so it takes extra discipline to not go to the cookies!
I am featured in Campus Activities Magazine for the months of January/February for Hot Music to watch out for in '08!! That was really cool when I found out that I was chosen!! I will post up the article below. It will also be online on the Campus Activities Magazine Website.
I have a really cool gig starting January 10th and going on every Thursday after that from 8-11pm at Cortland Garage here in Chicago. It's going to be an acoustic gig. Hope to see you there. I will be playing originals and cover tunes, including some of my youtube covers :-)
This is going to be a great year! I am putting on my seatbelt now because I know it's going to be a fun and fast ride!!

Rein in Spain!

Hi everyone!!
I just got back from a trip to Europe, it was so beautiful! My first stop was London for an overnight stay before taking the first flight in the morning to Barcelona, Spain!
I had a great time walking along Las Ramblas everyday. The gelato was amazing, the sights were unbelievable, the hotels were so sleek and modern. I walked/was on my feet for 10-12 hours a day. You can pretty much walk to most places in Barcelona if you like to walk. The weather was holding in the 60's during my stay so it made for really nice walking weather. I was really impressed with the churches, buildings and the advanced thinking that architects had hundreds of years back. I also had the opportunity to visit the Picasso museum and to see a large collection of his work. Very inspiring!
The last hotel that I stayed at had a beautiful aquarium in the lobby with huge gold fish. I made good friends with one of them. Everytime I would go by the aquarium to give it a kiss, it would rush towards me and bounce it's little nose on the glass in an attempt to kiss me too. It melted my heart right away! It made it that much harder to leave!!
Before coming back to the States, I stopped in London for three days. Stayed in the Holborn area, rode the tube, checked out Buckingham Palace after riding on the London Eye, walked around Oxford Street and I got inspired to get a new haircut! Fringe is all the rage in London and I suppose it was my way of taking Europe back to America with me since I had such a great time.
The toughest thing about being away for so long was missing my cat and dog. Zoe and Zuzu were being taken care of while I was away by my folks but it was so difficult not to have them be around me for that long! I am super attached to them.
But I am back home now!! Had to get a new video camera because the old one is malfunctioning. Needless to say, more Youtube videos will be going up soon!
I also just did at a show at The Store this past weekend and it was a blast! Thanks to everyone for coming out for that.
