I just got done freezing my IBTs off in East Harlem, i.e. figure modeling. Soooo over winter.
One of my bands was featured on NPR last month, on All Things Considered!
NPR
Unfortunately I couldn't make the taping. I was probably rehearsing with another band or busking or jerking off or something.
Some random facts about myself heretofore unmentioned:
--I've never had a cavity or a broken bone
--I'm an only child, but growing up I had 6 imaginary sisters and 7 imaginary brothers
--I hate all wrinkled foods
--I'm the first in my family to not only get a master's degree, but to even go to a 4 year university in the first place
--a cross-section of jobs I've had: nude model, subway musician, university piano instructor in NYC; French Quarter bartender and university librarian in New Orleans; Beanie Baby hawker in Key West.
--Sharon Osborne has called me "the most ridiculous thing" she's ever seen. Well, me and the rest of the orchestra. Don't believe me?
A boy I've liked for 7 years is coming into town tomorrow from Houston, to see family. But he's always got some girlfriend or another, so...yeah. He's a pretty thorough Internet stalker and is probably reading this. Hi J.! Oh well it'll still be nice to see him. I also have a slight crush on a married bandmate, which is about 20% responsible for why I'm planning o quitting the band very soon. The other 80% is that the band is making me crazy--the bandleader stresses me out, the gigs almost never pay, there are like 100 songs you have to learn, the rehearsals are unstructured cacaphonic disasters in a cluttered Bed-Stuy living room, etc etc.
Men and bands. I know how to pick 'em

I don't exactly have good luck in the romantic department either. Though I've never been in a band, I've never played well with others--especially in a creative atmosphere. I'm more of a lone wolf.
I also hate wrinkled foods.
I've broken two bones in my left arm, and had a few cavities.
I have three half-siblings (yes, that's right, they aren't all there).
I too have had my share of odd jobs.
Don't give up. It is so nice to hear from you...
