		<title>Tribute to the Family I Lost this Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The world works in ways that we, that I, can&#8217;t always figure out. In the past 5 months I&#8217;ve lost three of my Grandparents who I adored with all my heart. You always have to look at the silver lining (my Grandma Holmes taught me that). So here I go, finding the silver lining in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tour Blog Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its been two weeks on the road and we&#8217;re still alive! ha. Only one encounter with the police since we last spoke (no biggie ;P). Lessons learned:
Getting people out to shows is NOT easy. Just making a facebook event and inviting people to it IS NOT ENOUGH. With all the junk that goes on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>On TOUR, Day 4!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life is best when I&#8217;m on the road  There&#8217;s nothing better than meeting new people, playing music, and traveling up the PCH. I may have lost my car keys yesterday in the gazillions of sand grains that make up Pismo Beach&#8217;s coast line&#8230;. BUT. Every tour I&#8217;ve done, there&#8217;s been some kind of car [...]]]></description>

		<title>Overcoming life&#8217;s surprises</title>
		<description><![CDATA[one of my favorite quotes, if you&#8217;re not growing you&#8217;re dieing.

I have a month left of my college career, it feels like a lifetime I&#8217;ve been here. This last friday I put on the largest concert I&#8217;ve ever played. I figure, when&#8217;s the next time I will have these resources at my fingertips to do [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Album In Progress -Greatness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Guess what&#8230; I am in the midst of releasing ANOTHER EP. This will be my fourth EP. I&#8217;m starting to get quite a bit of experience with the creative process that goes into making an album. I&#8217;ve written about my discoveries from my past album on this blog: http://amandaholmes.com/blog/?p=143
But our motto for THIS album:
 
&#8220;Its good&#8230; But [...]]]></description>

		<title>What defines a failure?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nothing in life is under your control. You can try really hard to make plans, but in the end, life brings unexpected circumstances which completely screw you up&#8230; The only thing you are truly in control of, is the way in which you decide to react.&#8211;I had an epiphany last week. &#8211;Since I am in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inspired</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to see Joss Stone live in concert tonight. I was in tears watching her on stage. Watching her sing so effortlessly on stage, the big production, the connection to the audience, it all just made me think how happy I would be to do that EVERY DAY. I couldn&#8217;t hold back the joy [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Science of Street Performing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been doing a bunch of street performing lately. Like I mentioned in one of my last blog entries, it can be very difficult to play in Los Angeles where they always need you to bring your own crowd&#8230; So I&#8217;m working at building my fan base by playing to new people!
A great place to [...]]]></description>

Life is AMAZING. First day of Senior year at USC today. So funny looking back to freshmen year when I was sooo terrified and thought that I was completely incompetent and would never succeed in anything! ha. Well now I&#8217;m happy, confidant, and doing MUSIC.
