A Good Trade

I read this story yesterday and was quite amused - and wondered who the Phoenix singer was who traded away a years free rent.

Today I got an email from one of my girlfriends (who I haven't spoken to in ages, see the post below) inviting me to a "Red Paperclip Party" at Alice Cooperstown tonight - she's the singer in the story!

BTW: She is an amazing singer, very bluesy/rocky. I could see her playing Janis Joplin in the bio-pic they are casting, certainly long before Britney Spears (who they mentioned) or Renee Zellweger (who is playing her in some movie already)

UPDATE: Just visited her website (it's been a while) and found she has seriously changed her style. See what happens when you don't stay in touch - you miss a lot of stuff.

I read the "trading up" red paperclip story last week. Crazy idea but it seems to have worked!
