Of CMJ
Ok, I know I've been bad about posting lately, but all of a sudden I have a 50-60 hr work week... It's cool, I'm catching up tonight.
I think my favorite thing about being really busy is the momentum. You get up (hung over) on five hours sleep, go to work, straight from work to class, home for dinner and the OC, then out to five rock concerts, home at 3am, and you're still like "well, I wonder if there are any good parties going right now?" Not smoking pot probably helps too.
Anyway, guess who had the best work day ever?!?!? Paris Hilton! Um, jk, obviously. Girl's never worked a day in her life. Seriously though, when I finished going through all the scripts and treatments mid-afternoon in development and my boss sent me downstairs to work on Best Week Ever. Totally one of my favorite shows, and I was sitting in the room with like 3 other people while they were shooting it. I even got to help prep the talent with a little pre-taping banter/gossip/making fun of Martha Stewart. Awesome. Also, I met the Village People (in addition to the stars of the show, who aren't really what I'd call famous). Awesome squared. Add those dapper gentleman to my list of random celeb encounters.
Then, at the end of the day, Chris Cofoni calls me from Blue Note and tells me that he can hook me up with daily CMJ badges for the rest of the festival. Um, awesome to the eleventeenth. I caught two random bands at Lit and CB's Gallery tonight before I headed downtown for Dungen (very psychedelic, very cool) and Diamond Nights (I liked, but the crowd didn't seem into it) at Bowery, and then Of Montreal at the Knitting Factory (which rocked. that was the first mosh pit I've been in since 6th grade, even if it was a rather polite, apologetic one.). I liked the new material, especially "Reject the Frequecy." The place was packed, the crowd was into it, and they grooved for until after 230. At which point I was ready to sleep in a doorway just to avoid having to walk home. I didn't (obvs), so now I'm home writing this...
What else is new? Um.... The work mostly. I'm taking six classes this semester, interning 20+ hrs/week, and doing my Kaplan thing. This all adds up to very little time for other pursuits, namely sex and drugs. I guess it's cool though. Not to toot my own horn, but I've been really bubly of late and apparently the girls love that sort of thing. I've been picked up twice this week. Rock Rock On!
ps- shoutout to Matt and Katie. those random encounters are def the mos fun. beat that for a rapper spoonerism pun. (whut)
