sIck! sucks!

sO! what is this? i have been sick for the last two weeks, feeling better inbetween, playing concerts, feeling much better, getting sicker. i don't like that at all. i also tried alcohol as mothers little helper- usually works. didn't do it for me this time. so i guess i'll just have to stay in bed. which i can't since the opening of the exhibition from my husband to be at the Secession is on friday. and i really don't want to miss that. really.
what else? we played a really nice Zimmerkonzert in linz. took place in a private appartment, so we could say hello to every guest, take special encore wishes (we still don't have any new songs. so we play something out of the set twice. it wOrks!). here is a picture my mom took (yes, she's quite a fan- but not a good photographer, also a backstage picture of me showing my strategy to get rid of the cold: tea and wine (and aspirin) felt great that night. and not that great at all the next day:

then, this is upcoming and exciting: everybody:COME!

 

also i did this: www.tobiaspils.com. looks simple. was a lot of work. (well at least quite). also since i am not really a pro.

and then: everybody around me is pregnant. makes me kind of jealous since i LOOOOVE being pregnant (at least i loved being pregnant with mini me. really really did). but in a way i am pregnant, too. and the baby is called- if i don't change my mind- messiah. yepp, that sounds funny to me too. but it's the truth. so finally and very soon we will go to the studio and give birth. it's the ALBUM the ALBUM! My ALBUM! Our ALBUM! i'm excited and nervous and so eager to finally finish it and can't wait to see and hear how it all will turn out. this will also be a lot of work. but: i looOOve tO wOrk. and it doesn't feel like work in a bad way. really does NOT.

and: yes. we are moving to new yOrk pretty sOON!

that's it for now.

sincerely yours, from the bed.

O MY! NY!

hellO ya'll.

i'm back. although i tend to stumble into smaller or bigger holes after concerts (can't keep that up once we will play more often and regularly..!) my little and quick trip to NYC kept me out of the after STADTSAAL hole.
sO: what a sweet sweet night. i am happy happy O. quite and yes so. we keep working on our live setup, martin took over the technical computer stuff this time so i could really concentrate on everything else (also inbetween songs) and i didn't have to fummel around with the computer. sweet. also we spontaneously involved Flo Klinger and his happy pauken again, and i have to admit that i'm getting used to it. still and again: pauken and slide-guitar sound pretty hot HOT together. sO. then we had first time ever merchandising (THANK YOU: Milica Balubdzic, Tobias Pils and Bernhard Rappold) O-Shirts and O-Totes (a few of them are still for sale, if you want one contact me). we're working on it. we're getting there. EXCITING!
so then: New York.
a sweet little hang over on an early morning airport. with breakfast:

and a beautiful sunrise ( i like sunrises. and sundowners. and sun.):

then it was all about meetings (O mettings, private meetings, meeting friends), making my way through the city (self-test: no taxis, only subway. it kind of worked) riding the bus to the MEXICAN SUMMER Label Night. saw Ariel Pink, Tamaryn (!), The Fresh&Onlys and others there. oh, and Michelle Williams. wohoo.
the next day was China National Day. since i was staying in Chinatown, it was quite exciting, although i am not Chinese and i am not very excited about Austrian National Day either.
i also had a quite spontaneous photoshoot with Tina Schula.
then i walked the (high) line for the first time. pretty neat. and crowded (it was sunday. and sunny). then it was about time to go home because: i missed my family. this is how it works when you have kids or at least one kid: you miss them pretty quickly. and this is what happened to me, too. so i couldn't wait to go home. insane. but: sweet sweet sweet hellO at the airport. so: i'm back. and quite settled for what's about to come.

sincerestly and honestly yours. T.

mOre of this!

well, hello..!

I'm quite enjoying this hot hot hot summer, drinking spritzer, try to still enjoy the alte donau (i only use the dusche), and also try to (mentally) work on the last concerts to prepare for the next ones. yep, that's what i do. well well.
i wonder why i'm embarrassed when people applaude and also i am quite often reminded that i can be a quite and very shy person sometimes. but that's alright.
sO.
we will be playing at the Stadtsaal in Wien in October (07/10/13) with the wonderful and beautiful Dorit Chrysler. you might not want to miss that, i guess!!!
also: thank you for so many many many new facebook friends. i still didn't figure out how this machine works, but 10 days ago there were far less then now. so hello, all you new friends. i'm glad you made it, and yet: can't wait for those who still are about to come!

lOve.
