this summer, i'm doing an internship with
superglued.com, a community website based around live shows and finding people who love the music you do. the people i'm working for, rush and lucette, are phenomenal -- they're passionate about music, interesting, and care about bringing people together; so many of my friends have just looked at me and said, "they are your people."
one of the opportunities i'm getting through doing this internship is the option to do a project we're calling "50 in 50," which is essentially just this: i'm going to 50 shows in 50 days and documenting each one. they're all free in the nyc area, since economic times are tough, and rush and lucette wanted to show that there is so much music in nyc to be celebrated without spending lots of cash. the calendar is
here, if anyone's interested. there are some seriously great shows on the roster: blonde redhead, soy un caballo, conor oberst & the mystic valley band, the afro-punk festival, built to spill (at siren fest), matt & kim, man man, superchunk, ted leo & the pharmacists, ginuwine, bela fleck, pat benatar and blondie, etc. if you guys are in the nyc area, let me know so we can meet up at shows. my roster is
here if you want to see the kind of stuff i'll be going to.
i think i just really wanted to say: this is making me really happy. if you guys have been to shows that you thought were great and want to share the experience, please check out
superglued and tell us about how much you love music.
i don't even know, guys. it makes me all wistful!!!
