09.02.10 : Music videos!
BlankTV recently added both of the G,NA music videos to their extensive archives, and I figured I may as well post them here in case you missed them. You can also watch these (and see photos, read lyrics, and watch interviews) on the Media page right here on the website!
“If You Only Knew”
Directed by Evan Glodell
“Stop, I Get It”
Directed by Chris Laughter
Enjoy!

08.29.10 : Here we go!
I spent the day going through the entire tour routing and getting it all inside my head. Thank goodness for Adam, otherwise I’d be staring at 60 blank dates on the calendar. We’ve got a lot of shows already close to being confirmed, and a few that are totally booked, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
The dates are all up on the Shows page, and I put “help book this show” next to the cities in which we haven’t found any really solid leads yet. If you have venue/promoter or band suggestions in any of these cities, email me! The more info you can send, the better (i.e. contact info, website URLs, etc): sarah at gardeningnotarchitecture.com
If you want me to play in your town but you don’t have any rad venues, I’d be more than happy to play a show in your living room, high school, or church! I can tell you what we’d need to pull this off — and there’s always the option of an acoustic G,NA show, if all else fails. So please… be creative! But only contact me about an alternative venue space if you’re totally serious about putting it together, and you’re ready/willing to put in the work, time, and money!
We are also trying to put together EIY Workshops before the shows on this tour, preferably at the venue, but possibly at a coffee shop, or restaurant, or maybe at your house? If you’d be interested in helping with this aspect of a show (in addition to, or instead of, helping book the show), email me! Again: serious inquiries only.
Thanks to everyone who has already offered help in these cities. It means so much to me that so many of you are willing to take the time, and I hope I can make it worth your while!
More soon…

08.23.10 : Overcoming New York
I would love to be one of those people who’s all like, “I love New York, I love being in the City, it’s so easy to navigate, I love it.” But I’ll be honest: it stresses me the f*** out. Every time I come here, I have to start over in figuring it out. I hate trying to find my way around, and everyone who lives here thinks they’re soooo cooool because they know where they’re going and I don’t. Without fail, every time I first venture out on my own, after circling three or four blocks trying to go in the right direction to get where I’m going, covered in sweat, embarrassed that I’ve passed the same corner shop like five times, the three-year-old in me starts to throw a temper tantrum and all she wants to do is burst into tears and sit down on the sidewalk until her mom comes to rescue her.
But then, I eventually find my way, and calm down, and on the way back I remember exactly where I’m going and I don’t even have to consult Google Maps, and I can just enjoy listening to Death Cab For Cutie on my iPod and pretending I’m watching the best music video ever.
It’s all about facing and overcoming the things that intimidate you.
Love from New York,
Sarah
08.19.10 : From Punk Rock Summer Camp to America’s Camp
I’m in a car somewhere between New York and Massachusetts, with three camp counselors who are taking me to America’s Camp. I’m playing a show there tomorrow with Amy Kuney and hanging out with the kids this weekend. The camp started as a place for kids who lost family members in the 9-11 attacks nine years ago, and each year they invite a few musicians to come perform for the 400+ kids and counselors. I might also run a workshop for the kids to make their own G,NA shirts! I’m super excited even though I have no idea what to expect. I have a feeling it’s going to be a really incredible experience.
Warped Tour came to a halt before I even knew what had happened, and I haven’t had time to fully process the experience because I’ve been in constant motion since I left. I met some incredible people and bands on that tour that I will know and cherish for years, and I’m endlessly grateful to Kevin Lyman for giving me the opportunity to play and to run the EIY meetups all summer.
Adam and I are slowly pushing forward on the Fall tour dates, although it has been slow-going with my crazy schedule. We will start posting confirmed shows very soon!
If you ordered anything from the online store recently: I’m getting to those as quickly as I can. The shirts and hoodies will take me a bit because they’re in storage on the other side of the country from where I will be until late September. I need someone to run my online store! Who’s up for the job?
In semi-sad news: the handmade canvas sleeve version of “First LP” is officially SOLD OUT. It took less than a year, and who knows how many hours of cutting/sewing, but they have all found their way to their new homes.
But have no fear, because the new full color digipak version is now available online for just $10 (which includes shipping)! So get to ordering!
I’m gonna try to post a pic of what I’m seeing out the window right now…
Love,
Sarah
