With just a day to go, my favorite San Francisco singer/songwriter Diana Gameros is approaching her Kickstarter goal to fund the recording of her first full-length album. As I've posted before, Diana "creates soulful, passionate, and enchanting music infused with her Latin heritage… She was born in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, (and) writes songs that reflect the 21st century experiences of a young indie artist at the borderlands between cultures, languages, and genres." The pledge rewards range from digital downloads to a house concert to an opportunity to busk with Diana. ¡Buena suerte, Diana! Diana Gameros Kickstarter

(Full disclosure: My 6-year-old son is one of Diana's many backing vocalists.)

    I saw her perform at an Off the Grid event in Berkeley and then again at Roosevelt Tamale Parlor. She’s great! My favorite song of hers is Para Papa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqoCI5SthMg

    Diana played at a house concert of mine. I can’t tell you how much my guests enjoyed her. She has a deep soul and a youthful spirit! And her singing is out of this world.

    Can we stop making these videos where they hold up the flash cards in front of the camera.

    That is the most lazy, uncreative way of getting your message across
