Omiza River Reunion - Friday Night at 9pm!
 Our friends from the west coast are back in town and having a special reunion performance at the cafe Friday, Oct 19th at 9pm. We were blessed to have Omiza River be the first to grace our cafe with music waaaaay back when we first opened, and those of you familiar with them know what a special evening it will be!
Some of you may have seen the "OurLando, Locally Made" buttons we have at the cafe and I wanted to share with you the inspiration for the term OurLando from it's creator & the mama of Omiza River , Tanyia Hall.
In Tanyia's words:
"OurLando's origin...I conceived it when I moved to Orlando in 2000 right after seeing a beautiful rainbow. Being a community builder, idealist and visionary, it was difficult justifying the move to Orlando; it didn't have a reputation for community, or anything truly compelling that I could think of. However, I definitely felt called there and as I drove into town, I received a divine feeling that destiny was indeed fulfilling itself. Literally, as I contemplated my move, "Our Lando" came to me. Thinking of it as Our Lando helped me connect and be at peace with my move. Somehow, even though I was alone at the time, I knew that the tribe was either there already or mobilizing.
Having planned lots of events, I thought, hmmm, one day I might organize a concert here and name it Our Lando. It turned out that Keith and I coordinated two of Simple Living Institute's benefit concerts. For the second one, I asked if we could give it a title and it seemed fitting that Our Lando would be a good name.
I still feel our connection to the place...so many of our dreams were realized there...Keith and I meeting at Stardust, forming our band Omiza River, helping build Simple Living Institute, getting married on a flower farm, giving birth to our first child, Sequoia Mountain, writing our first album... The list goes on...I love the place...the land, the rivers, the people, the spirit..."
