Week 2 Joshua Radin / Gary Jules / Amber Rubarth on Tour….. I think we were in Montreal and Canada at the beginning of this…. La Tulipe and the Opera House (I love Canada now, was my first time there!)

Then Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus….

My birthday was 9/21.  I walked through a rose garden all morning, beautiful, and smelled every kind.  My favorite was one called “Quietness” - light pink.

Then came back to the bus and they took me out for delicious mexican food, drank some margaritas….

First week or so of the Joshua Radin / Gary Jules / Amber Rubarth Tour.

I should’ve taken more pics.

I love these guys.
We were on a bus.
Started in Norfolk, VA and all the way up into Montreal and Toronto!

What a week.

CD Release Party for my new album GOOD MYSTERY @ Joe’s Pub in NYC *sold out* !! and was soooooo much fun with so many special guests of my favorite people.

Walked across the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time.  Gorgeous.  Ran it again the next morning.

Brunch with friends…. and David Peters (not shown) in town… always fun!

Then D Lo had a taco party that was D Licious.  So delicious even food connoisseur Adam Levy was baffled by their perfect taste.

My new CD is finished!!  ——> Good Mystery <—— Here I am making the Special Collectors Edition boxes at my house…. whew!  You can still get one at http://amberrubarth.com/GoodMysteryCOLLECTORS.html

BIG NEWS!!!
