Forgot to study for my art history final (whatever don't care) last night and wrote what I believe to be my best paper to date.

Today will be busy. Last class of CRW1, art history final, pressing my 20 prints, going to Kaz's for an end of the semester soiree, then back to my apt with Hayden for baking time/sleepover.

Tomorrow is the last day of freshman seminar! :'-(

One of my photos is featured in the first issue of PONCZ Magazine (along with friends Callie Beattie and James Mcloughlin) and tons of amazing photographers!

CMJ

HaYy ALL -

I didn't really do much this CMJ but here is what I did see:
-Mumford & Sons @ MHOW who were great
-Part of Brooklyn Vegan/Bowery Presents day showcase at Pianos on Saturday with Cymbals Eat Guitars (my new favorite band) and Pete & the Pirates
-p4k/showpaper benefit @ market hotel w/ Real Estate (always good), Cold Cave (who sucked), Delorean, and Cymbals Eat Guitars (yes, twice in one day)
-An awesome show at Above the Auto Parts Store w/ Surfer Blood, Sisters, Screaming Females and JEFF the Brotherhood. No one bled from their head this week but Lightning Bolt is there on Friday and that may be a totally different story...

pictures from the JEFF show up on BrooklynVegan here!
pictures from the p4k/showpaper show up on BrooklynVegan here!

Screaming Females pix will be on Variety.com and in the print version tomorrow!

Sweeeeeeeeeet.

To study for midterms or to CMJ 09?

Disposable shots from No Age on Saturday:















Why does my art history midterm have to be in the middle of the week that is CMJ? Like honestly, why? So many shows I want to go to but just not enough time.
Missed out on the BV showcase tonight at MHOW. Currently listening to The Antlers and Surfer Blood on repeat. Hopefully can find time tomorrow to catch The Antlers at Sound Fix. Seeing Surfer Blood w/ JEFF, Sisters, and Screaming Females on Saturday...which should be awesome and make up for the fact I am missing a huge amount of amazing shows this week, tonight specifically...(titus, woods, beach fossils @ webster....starscream, graffiti monsters, ninjasonik @ don pedro's...)

Past week has been good. Went to Philly for the first time to see Bruce Springsteen. Our bus driver's name was Wogget.
Had serious awkward moments with the Big Man, drank way too much coffee, wrote my art history paper on the bus ride home.

Owen had Oompa Loompas serving cake at his birthday. Never thought I'd be able to say I was served cake by an oompa loompa but clearly anything is possible.

Realized how much work I have to do, want to throw my body out of a window.

Yesterday Emma took photoz of me and Caitlin looking creepy but the photos will no doubt be awesome.

It has been Styrofoam snowing in my neighborhood because of construction.

Saw No Age last night, it was awesome. Soft Circle are so good too. Alison got her head kicked and had blood everywhere...pretty ROCKNROLLLLL if you ask me (ah ha ha...). BV's internet is currently on the fritz so the photos haven't gone up yet but hopefully soon!
Met the guy that made pitchfork, random.
A guy from The Mummies emailed me (I freaked out, still sort of am)

Had a photoshoot with Dinowalrus tonight, it was good. It is too cold to live right now. I should probably be writing my paper?

here are some photos of my design project from last week:

Bruce! (last Giants Stadium show evarrr)

Caitlin brought me to Bruce Springsteen again tonight at Giant's Stadium (last show there evaaaar, because they are tearing it down with a "wrecking ball").

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NIGHT/MY LIFE
(que the serious name dropping, sorry...I know but ohmygod):
- Watched sound check from the stage
- Had a conversation with Bruce and Caitlin after sound check about random things + writing Darkness on the Edge of Town (like actually oh my god)
- Got a kiss on the cheek from Bruce (OH MY GOD)
- Delicious food at catering (best cheesecake of my life)
- Drinking the most coffee I have ever had in my life (I do not drink coffee)
- Getting one cup of coffee next to Chris Martin (don't hate, you know you like Coldplay too)
- Dancing next to Matt Damon
- Seeing Tom Colicchio
- "Wrecking Ball" still being the best song Bruce has written in forever
- Seeing Clarence ride up to the stage in the "Temple of Soul TO GO!" golf cart



Bruce Springsteen is the nicest man in the world and I can't wait for the Philly show + MSG + Baltimore!

CAITLIN WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME BRINGING ME TO THESE SHOWS, THNX GURL LOVE U <3 (No but seriously, I had been in such a weird, awful mood this past month and going to these shows has honestly made me so happy).

Also thank you to her awesome cousin Lenny for getting me the passes!

I got a gallery in New York!

THE BOSS

(my backstage pass!)

There is a reason they call him that and I just figured it out tonight!
Caitlin brought me to my first Bruce Springsteen show tonight at Giant's Stadium.
We took the train out to the Meadowlands and met up with Caitlin's cousin. He got me a backstage pass which was SO awesome and really great of him (I literally had the best time tonight). Caitlin gave me the grand tour and we visited Cindy from the E Street Band in her dressing room while she was getting ready for the show. Caitlin gave her some shirts she made for her and she loved them (NO BIG DEAL). She is hilarious and I'm going to wear my matching shirt next time I go to the show. She complimented my hair too? Hahha...

Anywho then we went over to catering and had some of the best cheese cake we've ever had...then explored backstage, around the stage, sides of the stage...etc. Actually some of the most amazing stuff I have ever seen. There were so many people there!

The show was probably the best concert I have ever been to, which is saying something. Three hours non stop! And I didn't get sick of it once...(which is pretty rare, I usually get sick of a show and wish for it to be over towards the middle of it). Bruce played all of Darkness on the Edge of Town + a million other things. Also did a cover of Jailhouse Rock. Sounded pretty good for it being unrehearsed!

My favorite of the night was Prove It All Night. It sounded amazing...and so did Rosalita obvyyyyy! They had fireworks and everything. Ugh love it.

Jeremy Piven was leaving the bathroom as we were going towards it and he was zippering his pants and made a face at us like, "THAT BATHROOM IS AWFUL." Later we saw him in the crowd and watched people take stalker photos of him. Then when we were getting ready to leave he was dancing by himself, pelvic thrusting. He pelvic thrusted in my face. NIIIIIIICE HIGHHHLIGHT OF DA NITEEE~*~

As we were leaving Bruce saw Caitlin and called her out and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Um ridiculous much?! All the super fans were jealous. I got a wave from him because well, uh he doesn't know me and that would just be weird.

Seriously I am ready to see him a million more times after tonight. Officially converted. THANKS, CAITLIN!

The only thing I was sad about was that he did not play "Cover Me"


(also I took some film shots with my new slim black devil camera, when i develop those i'll scan them!)

ALSO I FORGOT TO MENTION WE RODE IN THE ELEVATOR WITH MAX WEINBERG

HOME AGAIN HOME AGAIN JIGGITY JIG

Had a good day today. Melinda cut my hair, we reminisced on being scene kids that lived at the mall and then saw Blade Runner (oh my god what the hell so fucked up but so good) at the SVA theatre (Parsons should have their own movie theatre? that would be nice).

I have to wake up for class in about four hours (fml), Wavves at Market Hotel later today, Misty's birthday party on Saturday and then probably seeing A Clockwork Orange at the sunshine at Midnight with people. Good timez.

18 years old!

So I turned 18 on Friday! This birthday isn't really a milestone in my life like it is for people, there's nothing I really wanted to do but had to be 18 to do it. I mean, I guess other than going to 18+ shows but I solved that predicament awhile ago. I could buy cigarettes, but I don't smoke. I could go to a strip club, but I'm not currently in the mood for that. I could buy a machete? Just in case there is a zombie attack on the world that might be helpful but I don't know if I'd go with a machete. I could gamble? But I don't really have that much money to even gamble with (plus it doesn't look very fun and I'm not the luckiest person in the world).

For my birthday Hayden bought me a Crumbs cupcake after class, which was so sweet (and the cupcake was too)! Then I went out to dinner at Bubby's. We got peanut butter mousse pie or something and it was AMAZING. Caitlin, James and I did some photoboothin'






After that we walked around for an hour or two. We went to go to this coffee shop that Caitlin went to a few months ago but it was closed so we went to this other cafe that looked super cute and was 24 hours. Then lo-and-behold we saw this guy Ryan who helped work the Venexiana show working there! Small world! I had delicious lemonade. James had to leave but Caitlin and I continued to walk around and ran into Emma. I bought Freaks&Geeks on DVD because Caitlin needs to see it and then we ran into this girl that works on the bakery down the block from us on the train.

Fun stuff. Now I have to go buy a spool of yarn for class. We are going to Washington Square Park to play with yarn. pSyCheD* (love art school)
