Random Update
So my job laid me off from November 27th to January 30th due to "Downtime" (Dead season with no work).
I have been using that time wisely by dropping money on plane tickets and running around the country. I think it's a great investment.
First trip...I flew back to New York with a quickness. It was almost like I hadn't left considering I had been there less than a month before. It was just a little weekend trip this time but I enjoyed it all the same. Spent a bit of time with Freeze, and Blue, Harmonie, my favorite Hector, my greek statue Jordan, and Mr. Chris Redd. Saw Anja, who I swear is so sweet, talking to her could cause a diabetic coma. I can't get over how adorable she is.
Flew home for a day. Then took off for Los Angeles.
I really thought I was going to hate it here. Considering the lack of a soul this town has, specifically the Hollywood region, and my previous experience with it's high strung dramatic antics, I wasn't totally looking forward to this trip but I wanted to try it again. And honestly, it's not so bad. With the exception of the West Hollywood scene where the people, collectively, are as deep as a deflated kiddie pool, I really don't mind it. I guess it helps that ill nino are out here recording an album at the moment, and I also have Tink, Mel, Frank, Jason, Cesar, Sarah Dope and my boyfriend.
I've been spending a lot of time over at the Nino's apartments. It's really nice to just have them here, without a tour involved. Being able to just chill, drink, and talk. Last night I went to their Christmas party over at Citizen Smith, which I thought would probably be a stuck up, lame event, but by the end of the night I was having a ball. Jason and a couple others from Godhead, Danny and Dave from Nino, Jinx from the Dreaming, and a random few others got up on the little stage in the club and started doing like, a rock night cover band. They were doing AC/DC songs, and random songs. It was fucking fantastic. Tink and I ended up booty dancing and chasing around a guy the seriously looked like Gavin Rossdale. For real. It was beautiful. Mel and I made friends with some girl in the bathroom because we were all envious of each others hair, haha. And I met a guy that used to be in Niobe that I went to a party with 3 years ago in the fucking Bronx! Madness. It was good times.
The other day I went out with Ms. Sarah Dope to our beloved Koji's (suuuuushi bitches!) and did some shopping. We have a mutual bad addiction to that. Met up with her and her friends later at the Rainbow that night, then headed over to the Roxy for a Toys for Tots Benefit show, with Godhead and The Dreaming. I was not planning on attending that event at all (West Hollywood, not my favorite spot) until I got hassled by 3049908409856 people to go. So I made my appearance, and hated it. It was nice spending time with Sarah, and the little time I spent with Jason was great but the people out there are just Lame as Hell. I felt homesick for the first time. I needed my crazy Chicago crowds, who go nuts and start pits, who are crammed up against the railing....for the local band. If Nino had shown up 5 minutes later than what they did, I would have fucking bolted. But they made it just in time, I stayed and ended up with a not-so-bad evening.
Other than that, I haven't been out much. Just spending time at my boyfriends shop, hanging with Tink and Mel, and Frank...who I went out to lunch with at the Cheesecake Factory (yummm) and made late to work, haha.
I guess, all in all, this really isn't too bad. :)
I'll be back home on the 22nd, spend Christmas and New Years there. Then at some point Jeffro and I are taking a little day trip to Hawaii, and I'm going to try and make it down to Texas before the end of the month as well.
Well, I guess that's all I really have to say. Oh yeah, and...the first public announcement *insert drum roll here*.....I'm moving to Los Angeles.
Yep.
