so look i'm posting again, so soon!
as an update from last time here are some adorable pictures of my parents and i and california:

mom and i at san capistrano (an old spanish mission)
so last time i posted i mentioned i had an exciting week ahead which was true, so let's review shall we?
SATURDAY helped jill with her play and hung out in midtown crashing at agatha's
SUNDAY left from agatha's and rode to my coworkers morning-after birthday party uptown and got SOAKED! but then came home changed and went to bowery ballroom to see
the antlers,
the papercuts, and
vetiver and it was so mellow and beautiful and amazing! never heard the antlers before and they were surprisingly good for an opener-opener, papercuts are an old fav or BWNK!'s and didn't disappoint, but vetiver was AMAZING, a little tear of joy even came to my eye right as they played everyday cause i was there with BWNK! and i'd been dreaming of it all week.
MONDAY - yoga as per usual and later was the rev at black betty, only 6 more performances left till black betty is gone forever!
BWNK!, vance, lisa, and josie all came out. Unfortunately i had to leave before they played my fav song, TANGALICIOUS!, because i had "an interview" the next morning at 10am in midtown, LAMEZ : /
TUESDAY - "interview" turned out to be a total scam! i was so pissed but got home and jill asked me to go to yoga and even though it was the intermediate class we decided to go and WOAH! it was so intense but so amazing and it really helped out a crappy day. missed the comedy show in my own attic, but went to kiser's bday at b-side which was nice
WEDNESDAY - i ran 6 miles! i ran from my house to thompkins sq park walked the three edges of the park then ran back home. first time using my new running shoes in the city and it was awesome. then i got a haircut:
BEFORE: AFTER:
i pretty much just got bangs and cut out some of the crazy mulletness in the back. whaddayathink?
after haircut, i had NOW book club in manhattan on 28th st at 7th where we discussed francis perkins, which left me not far from woagies where i met up with BWNK! and noelle to go to bowery ballroom again! and see...
AKRON/FAMILY and HOLYFUCKINSHITOMGSWEETJESUSFUCKSHITWOAH! it was the most intense, beautiful, spiritual, community experience of a show i think i have ever been to. the music was fantastic and made me want to dance from practially the first note and the whole crowd was SO into it. we all sang along and danced together like one big, weird tribe and it was great. two guys, a father and son actually, that play with the rev a lotwere part of the opening band and they played with the band too. they were all rockin out so hard, like 20 min jam sessions and shizzzz, AMAZING!!!!!!!! and
i'm def not the only one that thinks so.
THURSDAY i went to yoga again as per unemployed usual, but generally spent most of the day trying to be responsible and apply for job and being online and whatnot. met up with BWNK! walked around got a tent for the-fastly-approaching-Maine-trip! and a bottle of cheap ass georgi and sodas which we sat around in a courtyard and drank and played 21 question while killing time before before never again which was amazing again (i have such talented friends!) then evan, beller, jill, BWNK!, kate, and i all kicked it at rudy's for a bit then jill, beller, BWNK!, and i all took the train home together. it was really a simple, lovely evening with friends. unfortunately, i missed mushpot dj night in redhook :(
TODAY! so far all i've done is help jill and BWNK! pick up all the props from the tank and bring them back to her house, apply for some jobs, and make and eat lunch, but! i am planning on seeing the thermals tonight (again at bowery ballroom, what do i live there?!)
