I saw Cat Power tonight - of course I coatchecked my camera (with the old scratched-up lens) without even thinking that perhaps, perhaps, I'd want to take photos of the most charismatic woman in the world. Believe it or not, I hadn't even seen what she looked like before I went to the show; I just enjoyed her music. God was I ever blown away. The whole band was ill and she couldn't hit the high notes but the show was still fantastic.

Tomorrow night I'm going to see The Be Good Tanyas. A girl I know from facepainting, Ora Cogan, is opening for them. I've never seen her perform so I'm pretty excited for that. And inspired. I want to paint, paint, paint... I need some wood. I want to be Audrey Kawasaki. Japanese and talented. Life would be good.

Here's my travel itinerary as thus far planned.

August - October 2007: Montreal, Quebec
October 2007 - January 2008: New York, America (I have this picture in my head of living in a shitty apartment in New York in the winter, taking the subway, painting and smoking a lot, and hanging out in laundromats to keep warm.)
January 2008 - February 2008: Gaviotas, Colombia (The world's most amazing eco-village)
February 2008 - Who knows?: Panama

Of course I doubt any of this will pan out as planned... but we'll see.

Here's a photo of a random guy on the bus. Stealth!



Here's a photo of me being childish and wearing a parka.
