Sarah Parsons

The first half of 2013 was a busy time for the Parsons – my sister Becca got married in January, and my sister Sarah got married in April. In the past, the thought of “brother-in-law” never really crossed my mind. I’ve had a sister-in-law (the world’s best) since I was 18, but that’s as far…

Whoa. I disappeared from the blog for a while there. But now it’s a new week, a new month, and I’m back – at least for today. Can I be honest? I’m glad to have March behind me. March held some wonderful things, but it was a crazy month in which it felt like every…

The other night, Becca texted Sarah and me this amazingly awkward picture. It could only mean one thing. We belong on “Murder, She Wrote”! …and… Becca and Michael’s wedding pictures are ready! Hop over to Jeremy and Ashley’s blog where they’ve absolutely killed it, proving once again why they are so worthy of being named…

I’m in Haiti, and have so many things to say, I don’t know what to tell you first. At the Miami airport, I witnessed a woman in a full-length denim jumpsuit with a zipper from the crotch to the throat. I suppose that’s a good place to start. – – – – – – –…

The week is here! I leave for Haiti on Friday night (taking the red-eye, which surely sounds more romantic than it actually is), and will be in Port au Prince by 9am on Saturday morning. I can’t wait to hug my sister, and probably some other people, too.  Who knows, I might be a hugging…

I don’t know which is more exciting. I have new songs. And I’m going to Haiti. Seriously: explosion of confetti and excitement and exclamation points right →here←. Ever since my sister Sarah moved to Haiti last June, I have dreamed of an opportunity to see her life there.  One month from tomorrow, I’m getting my…

My friend Fred Wilhelm writes great songs.  I talked to him a few months back, and told him that some of my happiest moments of the past year were the times that I heard him play this one: I mean, seriously?  That is just the coolest.  I hope this isn’t sacrilegious, but when I hear…

I drove to Kansas City this weekend – and you know what that means: On the road again from Annie Parsons on Vimeo. I’m sorry that the video was only 52 seconds long, but… no, you know what, no I’m not.  That’s about all you need to be subjected to. Besides this (glorious) video, the…

I was awake from 2-5am for no real reason at all.  I just woke up out of a dead sleep, and my eyes stayed open for three hours. I tried all sorts of things – reading, watching a movie, thinking about boring things, tossing and turning, changing the temperature, changing my blanket situation, moving out…

So much has happened in the last day. First of all, the helium balloon. WHAT. Is this the weirdest story ever?  First of all, that this Jiffy Pop contraption actually existed – and in someone’s backyard, no less.  Secondly, that the entire country was thrown into a frenzy when it was reported that there was…
