The Rich Girls Are Weeping

30 August 2007

Well, hello -- its been too long! Thanks to Idolator for linking to us today, btw!

This is a brief message to let know that after nearly two years in operation, we're moving on. No whining and crying about how we're just not that into this project anymore -- the truth of the matter is that things are a lot different for both of us lately. NYC has offered us a lot more opportunities, professionally and socially, than we ever could have imagined back in Austin, and some of our priorities have changed recently. (Plus -- well, if you haven't noticed, the blog world's beyond oversaturated these days.)

But don't fret -- I've got another blog project in the works (NO REALLY, I'll post here when it's up and running for all you loyal feed readers...), I'm working on a music-related book project (er, looking for an agent, drop a line if you can be of assistance!), and we are hard at work on the upcoming launch of our line of custom knitwear for discerning gentlemen at Kindling & Tinder -- in addition to saving the world daily at our day jobs! (No really. Seriously. That's what Pinkie does!)

Thank you for reading. (Oh, and we're still available for DJ gigs, btw!)

Thanks to all the bands for all the great music; we're still listening.

And, in true Rich Girls fashion, we leave you with a charming useless factoid -- we noticed tonight whilst surfing the music video channels that the video for Billy Joel's "A Matter of Trust" was filmed on St. Mark's Place, probably at No. 31, now the home of St. Mark's Deli Grocery. Watch for the awning of the now-closed-by-the-health-department cheap Japanese joint Dojo, if you don't believe us!

a bittersweet time, especially as the blog is still getting noticed by new readers. however, as cindy's mom (and friend to pinkie) i can say i've never been prouder of them.

they accomplished what they set out to do. after carefully making plans, they followed through and now can say they are living their dream in nyc and bed-stuy.

good luck! and hugs.

I was watching at the same time I guess, because I also saw this video.

I prefer the version by Billy Joel cover band A Matter of Trust.

good luck with the new directions. Thanks for your saucy commentary and juicy tracks. You'll be sorely missed by TRGAW fans and appreciated greatly by the others you touch.

Oh ladies, I am sad to see you go and wish you both well on your journeys forthwith!
Thanks especially for the Nilsson and broadening horizons in an over-saturated and increasingly small blog landscape. You will be missed!
All the best in your new adventures.

Never thanked you for your initial enthusiasm that encouraged me to update daily for more than a year.

Funny how life gets in the way of blogging. It used to be the other way around, right?

Parting is all we know of New York City ...

Oh, poo! That was the selfish reaction. What I really mean to say is:

Sorry to see you go, m'dears, but you're doing it for ALL the right reasons. I'm so thrilled that NYC is working out for you.

All the very best to you both!

The blog world may be oversaturated, but a lot of those blogs could learn a thing or two from you.

Thank you for the good times.

Hi, I've been reading the site on and off for a few years now but I just want to say that you(well one of you) wrote at totally awesome piece about band fandom(specifically Interpol fandom) on your previous blog Depraved Fangirls which I really loved. I even linked to that post back in 2005 on my blog:

http://mligon08.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html#112282779270886090

I'd love to read that piece if you could repost or e-mail it to me. Thanks!
