Living Room

Tonight I got to play at Living Room in NYC through my friend Todd's fundraiser for his dance company, Wobble Dance.

It was a great night of music. I played a solo set, and then afterward, checked out Adam Tressler & Astoria Blvd. at Rockwood Music Hall.

Social Networking

ANXIETY....

LOL, the theme of today.

I was at the New Music Seminar pretty much all day, and while the seminars were great, and I did meet a few people and do some connecting, I was overthinking, and wishing I was better at networking! It can be tough when you go to something like that by yourself, because introducing yourself is like a cold call, and wow, it's so scary!!!!!!! Not gonna lie!!!!! And the pressure of knowing there are so many important people there that would be good to meet!

I'm still grateful for the experience though, and learned alot.

Show tomorrow in Harlem! woo-hoo!

BOOM

Slept in a lot later than I had hoped, but at least I got a full night's sleep for once. Went to the New Music Seminar in the afternoon and got some good advice and talked to a few people.

Then had dinner with the awesome Jenn Mundia, old friend from Berklee who was in town from North Carolina, as well as the lovely Andrea Setaro and a few others.

Met up with a friend in BK and watched "Up in the Air," which was very good.

That's all, over & out!!!!

New Music Seminar

Today was LONGGGGG........

Full morning of kids music class....

Audition for Hairspray at Paper Mill...where I got chopped....lol....

Gym....

Opening night of New Music Seminar.

I got a free pass to this 3 day music seminar....lots of panels and discussions on music business plus performances.

Tonight was comedy by Margaret Cho...awesome as always....talked alot about her pu*%y, & sex...
also comedy by Rob Cantrell, who was hilarious!!

Musical performances, including Naughty by Nature!! (AWESOME!) as well as a new hip-hop artist Mickey Factz, whose set I really enjoyed.

Kat DeLuna performed as well with a bunch of young dancers....Not trying to hate, but wasn't very impressed with her performance. Thought the choreography was sloppy and she didn't really seem to command the audience, though I do like some of her songs, and she has pretty good energy. I do have to say, it was a tough crowd - very skeptical industry folk. 

It was a really fun night though, and I look forward to 2 more days of the seminar!
