Hello everyone. This is Rachel from the Danielson Famile and I have to confess that I just saw the Danielson Famile movie for the first time in its true form two weeks ago in Los Angeles. I drove up with my friend from San Diego, fought 3 1/2 hrs. of Friday afternoon traffic, ate a quick dinner (not the luxurious sit-down I was hoping for in LA) and then quickly ran to see the movie. It was great--I think I was laughing so hard I annoyed the other movie-watchers. Of course, I knew everyone in the movie so I think that definitely gave me an edge to most of the humor.

I have to say that the parts I enjoyed the most were the reactions of the people coming to see our shows. I got the giggles when this one guy was standing outside commenting on how the crowd was clapping and singing along and then he said, "You know you are clapping for the Holy Spirit, don't you?" and then the girl commented, "Yeah, and we're Jewish!" That was just too funny.

As for me...and for the many people who were sad to hear that I don't really play with the band anymore....good news for you....it's not true. In fact, this past summer I was able to go on tour with Danielson for 3 weeks and it was a lot of fun. I still travel to the East Coast quite often and play as much as I am able with the family. I don't see this as something that will ever change even though I live in the West Coast now. I have an incredible supportive husband who really believes in what we are doing. Although for the moment, I'm pretty busy being big and pregnant with my third daughter--alas I don't see myself flying anytime in the next couple of months.

Oh, and keep an eye open for Mamma Made. I know that our handmade children's clothing company was briefly mentioned in the movie....we are headed into boutiques hopefully this next Fall/Winter season in NYC and in LA. www.mammamadedesigns.com. What a shameless plug.

Alright guys. I'm signing off for now. Love, Rachel
