Vinx
I did say I was going to post the ‘Vinx’ story next didn’t I.
So, this is how I met Vinx…
Vinx’s Comment:
“Hi my name is Vinx. I’d like to invite you to my south Georgia plantation home/studio for our labor day weekend song-writers retreat. so far we have 12 confirmed and have room for a couple more. I know we have not met before but i am aware of your drum & bass influenced music. please call my director D Black if you are interested and have any questions…. his number is ***.***.***0…………. hope you can attend…Vinx”
This is the message I received in my MySpace inbox on Aug 5, 2006 11:31 AM (man am I glad I haven’t deleted that yet, here’s a secret about me, I’m an information pack rat)
When I first read it, I was like “What kind of bootleg offer is someone trying to sell me now” but somewhere on the inside I knew it was legit. So I went on the hunt for information about the then mysterious Mr. Vinx and boy was I surprised.
To date, this is probably the most amazing experience I’ve had on MySpace. The man responsible for Sting’s signature percussive sound (the Soul Cages Era) actually FOUND me on MySpace. How cool is THAT!
So yes, I went to the retreat and the rest is history in the making. Just check us out 
I’m refusing to choose (or at least trying not to)
So I’ve found out I’m a scanner. I prefer to call myself a renniasance woman (that whole allusion to the 80s movie gives me the willies). Even so, I’m starting to embrace her discovery, or un-covery of my type of lifstyle behaviour.
To be honest, when I first heard Barbara Sher talking about ‘scanners’ it was so mind bending to me it was on the verge of hearasy. While that remained my sentiment somewhere in the back of my mind, I still went out and bought the book. I started to read it around the begining of 2006 but couldn’t get past the ‘heretical’ introduction so I put it down.
Well now it’s 2007. I’m a year older, 2x a mother, and ready to listen, so I started reading the book again and you’ll be proud to know I’m all the way into the first chapter.
I’ve stopped at the point where she said ‘stop and do such and such right now’ and am in the process of doing just that.
