Good morning and welcome to another episode of the Wake Up Date! And this is a
pretty exciting episode for me because I have so much going on, primarily, my
IndieGoGo campaign for my new album is over and we reached and passed my
stretch goal, which is incredible and I'm so relieved. It just makes me so happy to
record and work on all of these different tracks for all the songs that
I've been working so so hard on, and then send it to somebody who's really good at
mixing and producing music and then they send it back and it's just way better
than I could have done on my own and it feels so good and it takes just a weight
off of my shoulders. Like with a lot of creative people, I really would love to
just focus on the stuff that I'm super good at, but that's kind of impossible
when you don't have a lot of money to spend. So I kind of have learned how to
do a lot of things and it's ended up being really good for me because I know
how to do a lot of stuff I never would have even tried if I had just paid other
people to do it, but for this album, I've been working on the songs for so long
that I just want them to sound as good as I possibly can get them to. And in
this case, working with somebody else was what I really wanted to do. So I'm
so glad that we reached our stretch goal, thank you so much to everybody who
contributed. If you missed the opportunity to pre-order the album and
you'd really love to order a signed physical copy of the CD, I have good news
for you! I set up a thing on IndieGoGo where some of the perks are still
available. I don't know how long they will be, but I will eventually stop them.
So I'm going to put the link to my IndieGoGo campaign up in a card as well
as in the video description below. The album will unfortunately not be ready in
time for me to take it on tour and to leakycon. I know that at least a few
people have been holding off on pre-ordering because they assumed that
they could just get it at the shows, and unfortunately you can't. I'm sorry! I kind
of made an executive decision as I was planning all of this to focus on making
the album as good as I can, as opposed to rushing
to get it out in time. When I first started planning out the timeline, I had
totally high hopes about when it was gonna come out and I was gonna get it
ready in time for all of these shows that I'm playing, I'm going on tour for the
first time in like six years, so it's kind of the perfect time to have an
album to sell. But the further into it I got and the more people I invited to be
a part of it, the closer I came to realizing that
if I want this album to be any good, I'm gonna need to take my time with it. So
that's another reason why I'm leaving the pre-orders open on the IndieGoGo
campaign. I don't want people to expect to be able to buy it there and then get
there and have it not be there, and yeah. I will eventually have them to sell it
shows, just not this summer. My new album With You Whatever Happens is going to
have 10 songs on it including "Home", "Do what you love", and "Math", which all have
been previously released as singles, but I'm going to be adding a lot of new
stuff to the recordings for those. I'm also going to be redoing certain parts
of them. I'm keeping little pieces, but I really wanted to reimagine them for the
full album. The album will also include "Happy song", "Nerve", "Making History",
"Hufflepuff", "Lost and Found", the title track "With you, whatever happens" as well
as "Nevertheless I persisted" which is a new Moaning Myrtles song that we wrote
for the Yule Ball reunion shows that we did back in December. Nina and I had not
written a new Moaning Myrtles song in ages and we were so excited to play
those shows that we thought we needed something new for them. I really like the
song, it's a little bit Cursed Child, a little bit us making fun of JK Rowling's
Twitter situation. It's a weird one and I'm really excited to have it on this
album. I think that was all of them, I'm trying to put them in an order at the
moment. So yeah earlier I mentioned tour and I have a lot of really really
exciting shows coming up. I can't wait for them. The first one is magicon in
July, it's going to be in Adams Massachusetts up on Mount Greylock which
is the real-life location of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is
that the full name for Ilvermorny? I'm not a big fan of all the Ilvermorny
stuff. But it is very cool that it's a real location that I'm going to be
playing a show at. After that, I'm going to be touring with Tonks and the Aurors and
Wizards in Space all the way from Ohio down to Dallas, Texas for LeakyCon. I'm
going to link to my list of upcoming shows and also put some information in
the video description below. If you live nearby you should absolutely come, I
don't know if I'm ever going to be able to tour again, this is just a big deal
for me to be able to do this. I'm putting everything I have into these shows,
working so hard on all this stuff around it, I have all this new music that I can
perform. I'm hoping that I get a chance to film as much as I can on tour, I'd
love to make like tour diary videos. I used to do that kind of thing on this
channel all the time, it's one the original reasons why I started my
channel in the first place. But some of the later tours that I did, I just
completely forgot to take my camera out and so I always said if I toured again,
I'm gonna film this time. So that way, you can enjoy it a little bit if you aren't
able to come to one of my shows. You should also follow me on Twitter and
Instagram @Laurenfairwx. I'm going to try and post all kinds of stuff from the
road. I really like Instagram stories but I don't post them very often. I'm going
to try my hardest to keep up with Instagram stories, at least while I'm on
the road. you can go to laurenfairweather.com/shows for
information on all of the performances that I have coming up. So another thing
that I've been working on is making as much merch for tour as I physically
can. I haven't played this many shows in a summer since I think 2012, so I haven't
been keeping as much of my merch around as I used to so I really need, I have a
lot of work that I have to do it in order to get my inventory up for these
shows. But I wanted to give you a little bit of a preview of some of the stuff
that I've been working on for this tour. One thing that I'm known for at my merch
tables is my handmade plushies and instead of just trying to make as many
designs as possible and having just a table full of plushies, I decided to
focus on just a few of my absolute favorite designs. I recently redesigned
my owl plushies, the snowy owl and the little barn owl. These are some of my
all-time bestsellers and I've been making them for a really long time, but I
felt like they needed a facelift so I recently redid the pattern for them. The
snowy owls are actually available in my Etsy shop, I managed to have time to take
photos of this one, but I'm gonna try to have these in stock. I also redesigned
my niffler and bowtruckle plushies. These are kind of similar to the ones
that I made on this channel, but I reworked them to work with my minky
fabric that I love so much. The niffler has a little pocket, I'm really happy
with the way the nose came out, I kind of redid the whole nose situation. And then
this is just one of my favorite things I've ever made. Bowtruckles, I'm just
obsessed with them. I like that this one doesn't really look like the one in the
movies, it's kind of my own interpretation in my own style and I
just love these so much, I kept one. I also have a couple of pygmy puffs still
available. I have the little ones that I made on my youtube channel and also
like a, whoop, that's backwards. Then I also have these bigger ones that I made for
fun because they're just so fluffy. And then another thing that I've been making
a sell on tour are these fabric hair bows. I basically went to the
fabric store and picked out fabrics that I thought evoked the different Hogwarts
houses. These are really fun to make, I've sold a lot of different kinds of bows
over the years just because they come together relatively quickly and people
seem to like them so I wanted to try out this new style and I'm so happy with the
way they came out. This Hufflepuff bow is one of my favorite things. I love this
fabric so much, it's probably the most me fabric that I've ever seen in my life.
I'm going to have a booth in the marketplace at leakycon again this year
and it's going to be just an enormous convention, I have no idea what to expect
just because it's so much bigger than the past leakycons have been, but just
in general, especially because I know that I'm going to be on tour for the
week leading up to LeakyCon, if you want anything in particular, come to the booth
early in the convention as opposed to waiting until the last day because I
don't know what my stock situation's going to look like, I could be out of
everything already by that point. But yeah, my stuff is handmade, it takes a really long
time to make, I don't have that much time to work on them. So yeah, maybe eventually
I'll work on having a couple things manufactured so that they could just
come in the mail and I'll have a few hundred of them ready to go, but right
now, it's like, just me over here. I did want to talk about t-shirts. I have a
t-shirt store at dftba.com/lauren I really like all the designs that are
up there at the moment but they are located in Montana. As a result of that,
it has become very difficult for me to get my t-shirts to my shows. I've been
talking to them about possibly sending a small amount of one or two of them, but I
don't know if it's going to happen and I don't know if I'm going to sell out if I
then don't bring a whole lot of them. A lot of times people come to my shows
totally prepared to buy a t-shirt and then I don't have any and I feel bad. But
I wanted to show you my current lineup of t-shirts over on dftba and if you
would like one, don't wait until the show cause they may not be there, just buy it
online. So I'm actually wearing one of the shirts right now. This is my Harry
I'm coming home shirt, it was designed by my friend Evie I'm gonna put her
information in the video description below because she is super cool and she
just opened an Etsy shop. It has a book at the bottom and Hogwarts castle is
coming out of it and I just think it's so lovely. Then there's my "it's real
for us" shirt which is probably my favorite, I really really like this
design, it was designed by Kristine Thune who's super cool. And then the third one
is the "My muggle friends just don't understand" shirt. I actually designed this
one myself a very very long time ago and I really liked it, so we've been
keeping it around. This particular font just totally lends itself to be filled
in with these Harry Potter themed shapes and I just think it turned out really
cool. And that brings me to the patreon shoutouts section of the episode. If you
would like to become one of my patrons, there are a bunch of awesome perks over
there including these shoutouts. You can find that at patreon.com/laurenfairweather

if you've made it this far into the episode. I'm just really happy and really
excited. I have so much going on right now and I'm trying not to be too
stressed out about it, but it's all stuff that I love so I'm just eating it up, man.
I'm so happy about all of this, it's all working out so well so far. I've got a
lot of stuff to do, but I'm just very happy to be able to do it. I hope you're
having a really good day, thank you so much for watching, and I'll see you soon.
