One of the best things about a Seattle Saturday night is listening to KEXP's Audioasis radio show as we prep to head out for the evening (or put the finishing touches on things before turning on the movie for nights at home).
We've had this tradition as long as our Seattle memories serve, so you can imagine the roar of happiness that wafted across the imaginary offices when we received an invite to play some songs and chat with Hannah on this Saturday's edition of Audioasis!
Dana and I plan to spill some details on the Imaginary Holiday Party (mark your calendars: Friday, Dec 16th) as well as play a few brand new exclusive (never before heard) songs and some new local stuff that has been melting our hearts as of late.
Tune in at 7 pm PST to 90.3 fm or at KEXP.org to hear us buckle under the weight of Hannah's coolness... and play some songs we think you'll like.
Any last minute requests? Any Pacific Northwest bands what to record a quick cover of "Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You" so we can play it?
As if we needed another reason to love The Head and the Heart and Seattle and KEXP {who put together the free show last week}, imaginary photographer Victoria VanBruinisse captured all three in one of the most beautiful dreamy shots ever.
Now that we've kinda rested up from the crazy past few days, tell us all about your faves, notsofaves, surprises, and happiest moments of the weekend!
You can peruse all the other amazing photos from this weekend in the Imaginary Flickr Photo Pool {and add yours}!
We're starting off the week with an imaginary birthday celebration! Our very own Imaginary Victoria is commemorating her last day of this age on Monday {5/17} at the Triple Door Musiquarium (upstairs at the Triple Door) with a night of sixties soul deliciousness spun by KEXP's Greg Vandy.
It's free and 21+, so grab your ID and join us there for a dance-y good time.
Maybe we'll hear this song?

If you're like me -- in that you have a munchkin at home -- you know how hard it can be to rally and get out to a club. Thankfully, salvation comes for us parental folk with a hankering for rock venues this Sunday, when KEXP hosts its Fourth Annual Father's Day Dance Party. Crafts, cupcakes, breakdancing lessions! This sounds like huge big fun to me. If you feel the same way, you're in luck. Our kind friends at KEXP have offered up a free pair of tickets for one lucky imaginary reader.
Pull up your socks and get on your sneakers, we've got a big weekend ahead!
I feel like it's my birthday or something! I couldn't be more over-giddy about the next 72 hours. Who's with me?
If you head out this weekend, post your weekend recaps add your photo to the Sparkly Indie Pop Flickr Photo Pool so we can keep up on all the indie-oholic festivities!

Some members of Team Imaginary will be at KEXP from 3-6p today (Sunday, March 1) taking your pledges to support KEXP. Listen in as we provide phone support for Larry's Lounge today at 90.3 FM (kexp.org).
Give us a call to make you pledge!
KEXP know how to do it right. This year they are marking the holidays with not one, but two nights of yule goodness... and they are sharing the good times with us by giving us a pair of tickets for each night of Yule to give away to a lucky imaginary reader.
And in classic KEXP style, both evenings' line-ups are bumpin':
Friday 12/12 @ Neumo's
* Grand Archives
* Shearwater
* The Dutchess and The Duke
Saturday 12/13 @ Neumo's
* Thao with the Get Down Stay Down
* Shearwater
* Cancer Rising
You can enter to win tickets for each night, but you must enter each one seperately. To enter, email us at tig @ threeimaginarygirls.com with the subject line "KEXPYule-FRIDAY" or "KEXPYule-SATURDAY" before 4p (PST) on Monday, December 7th and you'll be entered to win.
***Please make sure to include your name in the body of the email***

And it's KEXP FTW!
