last night at the Ultimate Gossip Girl Summit 4 was so much fun – the host, comedian sara benincasa, invited me to perform an original song about gossip girl’s chuck bass. (in the audience was Chuck 2.0 from season 2, episode 12 – that’s a picture of us on the right). one of the gossip girl panelists, comedian baratunde thurston, & I wrote some lyrics over a loose version of a d’angelo song, and here’s the result:

voting for Cosmo StarLaunch ends this Thursday night, 12/4, at midnight — I would be so grateful if you voted (and voted obsessively often for the next two days). this has been an amazing time, and your votes could help me get money, studio & stage time, publicity, love…

ps – as part of the competition, the 3 finalists (including me) will open for natasha bedingfield in NYC this friday night. even though we’re playing just one song each, I would LOVE to have you in the audience — the final decision is based in part on live text-msg-voting from the audience … your support would mean the world …

if you want tix to the show ($30), get them in person from the Mercury Lounge box office (217 E Houston) & say you’re part of the mieka pauley contingent — they’ll waive all the ticketmaster fees.

thanks to Cosmopolitan StarLaunch (vote for us !), me & the band’s live video of 9:45 is featured on the front page of youtube ! here’s a screenshot:

just found out that Ourstage will be taping my CMJ showcase next week in nyc – I’ll be at Ace of Clubs on thursday 10/23. just wanted to give you the heads up in case you want to be captured as part of my rabid yet sophisticated audience.

as an example, here’s the video they did at my hometown boston show at Johnny D’s:

my buddy kelley nicole (looking beautiful !) and me backstage at the knitting factory for her band soulfege‘s cd release party. I was honored to play a set & celebrate with them. you can’t see him, but comedian baratunde thurston is taking the photo – he mc’d the night.
