I officially have a job as a publicist, no ifs and or buts about it. I said I wanted to do something, dreamed about it, fought for it, and now its real. Kinda crazycool. It was a long strange confusing exciting and upsetting road but it looks like I finally have settled for a plan. Stick around here til November, come December, if all goes well I can be a counselor on Birthright and then stay an extra week or two with SRF cuz she will be living in Jerusalem by then. Once I get back, my lease will be up and it will be time for me to move to LA. I plan to visit in July to test the waters. I feel like everone imagines being in NYC for a little, but I live here, and I've done it so LA is kinda like my NYC. There is just something about the west coast that I feel like I belong to. Rachel and Raf plan on moving out there too so that is such an amazing thing. We will see what happens though!
I need to take more vacations. I value them greatly. I had a weekend off and went to Phoenix which was more then an amazing time. Almost life altering, which is what I was fearing but i'll talk detail when need be. Also went to Vermont which was a nice change of pace. Rachel's parents relocated up there and opened a restaurant which we worked at for the day. Click here to read a bit about them! Now im dying to go to a hot beach somewhere. I really miss the beach, and the sun. I can't believe how expensive tickets are to fly anywhere! I wish I could just get up and go with someone.
More recently, on Monday night my friends in the band, We The Living showed up for a show at The Knitting Factory. I've known these guys for almost 2 years now and have loved their music from the start (when they werent even We The Living!), and supported them in any way I could. I mean, I do love promoting things I believe in. So the next day, I do my usual internet browsing and LOOK what shows up... (http://perezhilton.com/2008-03-25-listen-to-this-piano-and-melody) It was so odd/exciting seeing JP's face and Benjis head on this site I work with weekly, and that I was just chillin with them in their van hours before. This is huge for them and i'd really like to know how they did it cuz well, thats what I do now for work. So happy for these dudes and wish them the best. Hopefully even bump into them in LA this summer!
So there's my plug for the band, a brief little update on life, and later when I have a chance, ill add to this what I originally intended this blog to be for, which is basically listing crap like places i've been. Example, Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City!
