congratulations ms. difranco thread!

This news is a bit old now, but I know there's a few other Ani fans here on the Kitten board, so I figured "what the heck!".

Without further ado, Congrats to the l'il folk singer on her impending mommyhood!

How freaking cool of a mommy is Ani going to make?!? :baby Eeeeeeeee! :sigh

I was surfing around afterellen.com the other night (http://www.afterellen.com/column/2006/7/28.html) when I read about it and in turn, read the news to my girlfriend -- this was pretty much our convo after:

Amanda: "oooooh, she's going to be pregnant when we see her in November!"
Annie: "if she's still touring...."
Amanda: "Ooooh...you're right....do you think she's going to keep touring??"
::pause::
Amanda: "I hope she only keeps touring if she really wants to be doing that and not 'cause she feels like she has to..."
Annie: "yeah, but it's Ani...I don't think she does anything she doesn't want to..."
::pause::
Annie: ::chuckles:: "you know, it's going to get awfully hard to hoist a guitar around her middle in a few months...those Alvarez guitars she plays are pretty thick....I bet if she does keep touring she's going to start spending a lot of time playing on her little Martin travel guitar...."
::pause::
both: "I wonder who the daddy is...?"

(We later found out the daddy is the producer of her next CD, Mike Napolitano.)

So anyway...just curious of any other Kittens had thoughts on the news or whatever?

This is pretty much the extent of my brain functions after learning about this :thud

Who would have ever thought Ani Difranco would ever embrace Mommyhood...? I'm completely blown away... wow.

I clearly wasn't thinking of the collective masses on the Kitten Board when I posted about this....

I'd like to apologize now for any future delays to Emms' awesome fanfics and basic ability to function as a result of breaking her with this awesome news....! :ashamed

That being said...I'll now add insult to injury by posting a link to a video clip on YouTube of Ani making the announcement amidst her "speech" at the N.O.W. conference earlier this month... :drool
