Manchester Baby!

Today I got an email from my friend Ted, who just got back from being on tour with the band SeaWolf.  Ted was playing in Manchester and came across this poster that is still up in one of the venues.  I used to play in a band called RedSparowes and this is the poster they used when they played in the UK in 2004.  I never played with them on the UK tour, but my picture has been up in this venue since March 2004.  How awesome is that?! I recorded the first record with the band called, At the Soundless Dawn when I was living in Los Angeles.  Our friend Jeremy Weiss took this picture of us.  Look at my hair...totally disheveled!  But still pretty awesome.  

Fireworks, rain and sickness!

Yes, it is July 17, 2008 and I am posting about July 4, 2008.  Ha ha.  I am really trying to stay disciplined.  Really! So this past Fourth of July was spent in Greenpoint, Brooklyn with my friends Kim and Jake and my roommate/pal Greg. It rained and I was sick.  I was sick for almost 2 weeks after this.  Booey Hooey!  I realized recently that July 4th doesn't hold that much interest for me anymore.  Maybe it never did.  It's fun to see the fireworks, but i wouldn't be upset if i missed it.  So here is a picture of our view.                                                                          Sparkletacular! 
 And here is a lovely shot of me, greg and the many neighborhood people behind us.  

Happy Record Release

Happy Record Release!  

Well here it is...the anticipated, highly anti-climactic album from... LaGrecia called "On Parallels".  Although friendships were lost during the production of this record I am still proud of my playing on this record and am happy it has been released.  Thank you Suburban Home and thank you Sal for your time, effort and artwork, being so amazing, etc.  I hope now we can put our issues to rest and come to peace with all that has happened.  

Thunder and Lightning

Ok, well i am not on top of updating this blog as things happen.  Yeah...I'm about a week off.  haha oh well.  Anyway, so the Renegade Craft Fair happened at McCarren Park Pool the weekend of June 14 and 15.  Here is a lovely picture of my good friend Kimberly, who was a vendor at the fair.  You can check out all of her cool, awesome goodness at chez sucre chez.  I went on Saturday and it was crazy, sweaty hot.  The fair was amazing with lots of really cool vendors.  We ate ice cream, caught up with old friends, danced around in the tent and we wore these funny pins (picture below) I made for us the night before.  They are what we like to call, conversation starter pins.  Pretty funny and ridiculous. 
Did they work?  Ummm...no not at the fair, but it doesn't mean they won't work in other venues.  I think they are hilarious.  Kind of like a pick up line, but really just a way to start a conversation. Either way, we had fun. xoxo

Oh yeah,  we also got caught under her tent for 2 hours while it thunder and lightning outside.  Crazy lightning, thunder and windy.  Luckily none of her merchandise got ruined.  We got totally soaked, but it was fun times!  Lots of singing and clapping.  

Lucky number...

On Friday June 13, 2008, the only friday the 13th in the entire 2008 calendar year, I got the number 13 tatoo-ed on my right wrist.  Three Kings Tatoo shop was offering the number 13 for $13.  The number 13 has many meanings to me.  I am love13bird, my dad's birthday is on the 13th, and many good things have happened to me on 13's.  So here it is, my new impulsive last minute addition to my body and i love it. 

MIA McCarren Park Friday June 6

My magical friend, Patrick. got us in to the MIA show last Friday night for free.  It was soooo fun and awesome.  MIA is a great performer!  There was so much great music and dancing and the overall vibe of the crowd was fantastic.  The weather was great and everyone was dancing and having fun together.  We danced our asses off!  woo hoo!  Thank you Patrick!  Fun Times!

Fruit-tastic!

Summer time is officially here.  The 97 degree weather, sweating my butt off has lead me to believe so.  So...that means it's fruit smoothie, fruit granola and yogurt and fruit on cereal time!!!! Hurraayyyy!  One of my favorite things about summer is buying up fresh delicious fruit and berries, washing them off, chopping them up and then putting them in either the freezer or fridge for fruit goodness.  Ahhhh...I love waking up in the morning and making a fresh fruit smoothie.  I make them only with frozen fresh fruit, soy milk and honey and i blend it to the consistency of ice cream so it is a healthy delicious treat!  Fresh fruit truly makes me happy.  So aside from fresh fruit a few other things that make me happy about summer.  The beach, swimming, outside concerts, riding my bike, ice coffee, the park, and going to the movies during the day because it's too hot outside.  Like The Carpenters said, "It's only just begun" and I hope summer last forever this year.
