PRINCESS KATIE SAYS: I LOVE HALLOWEEN!


Dear Diary:

First of all, today's concert was incredible. What a surprise...blindfolded I entered the packed theatre, we sang, hit a pinata until neon glow sticks fell out for all the kids, we watched me open some pretty crazy presents from the band, danced, laughed and screamed "Hooray!" whenever Racer Steve held up the giant sign. Things got crazy when they rolled in the gigantic soccer ball I found from our song, "It's Not Mine."

The kids in the peanut gallery of the theatre got pom poms in all different colors, tattoos and gorgeous autographed pictures of all the band members. Hint Water supplied the delicious fruity water and between all the balloons, confetti, streamers and favors for the kids, I'm thinking everyone was pretty worn out after all was said and done. Hey, if you were at the concert, please send me pictures and I'll be sure to post them!

Halloween is coming and I'm excited. This month we're doing a lot of shows, so check the site for updates.

I remain,

Princess Katie

Hint Water Rocks at Princess Katie & Racer Steve Concerts!



Hey! It's Racer Steve taking over Princess Katie's Diary!

We're so royally psyched because the ultra-cool essence water, Hint Water, is sponsoring our Helen Mills Theatre Concert Series. The first of which is on September 29th for Princess Katie's Surprise Birthday Bash Concert (tickets: www.princessracer.com)!

What does this mean to the tot rockers attending the concert? Well, it means they'll each be receiving a refreshing, cold bottle of Hint Water which won Health Magazine's Best Flavored Water Award for 2007! The greatest thing about Hint Water is the fact that it doesn't contain sugar, preservatives or calories! After all, who wants to be giving these cute little kids sugar to drink?

I think I'll go for the Mango Grapefruit and I think Princess Katie will probably want to give the Pear a try!

Mango Grapefruit - Pomegranite Tangerine - Lime - Raspberry Lime - Peppermint - Pear - Tropical Punch - Cucumber -Kiwi-Strawberry

So, we'll see you at the concert! Drink Hint. Check out their website by clicking the title of the post above.

NEW RACER STEVE "FAST" T-SHIRT!



Dear Diary:

Alright! Racer Steve's special T-shirt has been made and is now ready for sale! It's so cool. It's American Apparel's navy, 100% cotton tee and it's got Racer Steve rockin' out on the front with the word "Fast" underneath and the Princess Katie & Racer Steve logo in white on the back. Very cool for the little racers out there. You can order t-shirts by clicking the title above.

Thanks to the crowd who braved the muggy, New York humidity yesterday to enjoy our Bubble Concert in Union Square. It was great seeing some faces from Central Park and Bleecker Park. It's also nice to see the kids singing along to the songs! If you have any great pictures from the show, make sure to send them to me and I'll post them on our Myspace page!

Music...outdoors...kids...dancing...NYC


Dear Diary:

Hey, why don't you rock out with us at Bleecker Park in NYC on Thursday? We're doing 2 free shows at 3 pm and then 4 pm as part of the MakeMusic NY! celebration. All around the world, musicians are holding free concerts for everyone in the streets on June 21st! Click the title of this post for details on MakeMusic NY!

Bleecker Park is located at 11th and Hudson Streets in the West Village.

On to other news...yesterday Racer Steve and I performed three concerts in 2 different hospitals for kids who aren't feeling so well. Believe me, they definitely felt a lot better after they were singing and shaking to the music. Music isn't medicine, but it sure acts like it sometimes!

They were really brave kids from the Hassenfeld Children's Center, Tisch and the Rusk Institute. We had such a great time because we could see how much fun they were having. The kids didn't know we were coming so the concerts were a surprise.

Hope to see you on Thursday! Off to Royal yoga!

ISN'T THIS BRILLIANT?



Dear Diary:

Hi! I'm proud to say that I know the people who started this organization. They're a young, very cool couple from NYC with two beautiful, healthy little girls who spend their time helping children who aren't fortunate enough to be blessed with perfect health. Good people, huh?

I've chosen to write about this organization for many reasons, but mainly because the idea for our band, Princess Katie & Racer Steve sprung up unexpectedly as a result of our volunteer visits to kids in hospitals. For several years now, Racer Steve and I have been making visits to kids in hospitals. Initially, we dressed up as popular TV and movie characters and now, because we wanted to start performing original music for them, we created own characters! So, you never know what can come out of doing something kind for someone else. I never, ever expected to be singing, never mind being in a band.

So, as a result, I know firsthand what a tremendous impact a little entertainment, especially music, is for sick children in hospitals. That's why we're so impressed with The Kids Rock Organization.

Please read what I've cut and pasted from their site and if you feel inspired, click on the title of this post and visit their site.

"The Kids Rock! hopes to make a small difference in the lives of uninsured children diagnosed with cancer by donating CD players and MP3 players through the clinics where they are treated. The medical world can treat their disease with the vast wealth of knowledge and dedication they selflessly give. We as musicians and music lovers can help make this tough experience a lot easier by giving them some entertainment while they go through the treatments. Something to take their minds off the Chemotherapy and Radiation, something to remind them they are still kids!

In the future The Kids Rock! hopes to take the fun to bigger places, such as free trips to concerts, meeting the performers and even buying instruments for the kids who dream of being stars themselves. The Kids Rock!"

Isn't this what life is about?

Princess Katie
