Updiggity Date!!

I realize these posts are getting few and far between, but thats only a sign of my hustling and bustling and blowing down the adversity faced by your friendly neighborhood self-employed videophile.

1. The Antibalas show last Friday was awesome. Those boys are sweet as pie and talented as fuck. Even if you don't think you're a fan of afro-beat, if you're a fan of music do yourself a favor and check 'em out.

2. I found out this video I did 4 years ago for the Negatones is playing on Much Music in Canada! Hosers love me!


3. Just finished a killer treatment for the David Lowery (Cracker, Camper Van Beethoven) produced Wormburner track "Skinny Leather Tie". I'm going to need a crowd of thesbo's so stay tuned for the shooting date. And the song is catchy as hell...

4. I VJing for Alana Amram & The Rough Gems at Glasslands next thursday, January 31st. Alana is amazing and I'm not the only one who thinks so.

5. 2 Skinnee Js east coast tour this summer!!! I'm currently working on a trailer for the tentatively titled "2 Skinnee J East Coast world Tour 2008", which I'll post soon. But I am pumped. Last time, they bought me along for shits and giggles and I wound up with a set of broken toes and getting spanked onstage in a monkey suit in front of 1500 people at the 9:30 Club in DC. This time they're hiring me to do a balls out, over the top video show. I can't wait.


6. Last night I hung out with DEVO's buddy Ray who told me after almost 3 years, the boys STILL talk about the chick in the monkey suit! For those just joining in...

7. YouTube Tuesdays are gaining a good momentum. After only 3 weeks we already have a number of regulars. And new faces every week who jump in. My only wish is that the ladies need to represent. (i know - I'm the only girl I know who complains about being surrounded by 30 dudes. I'm just not one for the sausage fest.) Come on down - every Tuesday at 10, Cyn Lounge.

So much other stuff going on, but i have to get crackin on it instead of blogging about it. Life is awesome.

Paying rent is considered Adversity? Oh, pardon me Rosa Parks... but didn't you elect yourself to the position of freelance neighborhood video-phile?
I hope Dr. Claw burns your feet off so you can face some REAL adversity.

Please feel free to choke on your next meal........

You know I had to read that comment five times before realizing it's not a joke.

Then I realized the fact that it's not a joke makes it hilarious.

Thank you big, bad, anonymous internet commenter. You totally made it to the screenplay.

"Screenplay? Oh, pardon me Francis Ford Coppola... Please feel free to slit your wrists on your next Final Draft document...."

Why are you dissecting my words to create your own negative vibe?

First of all, I was being funny when I called rent an adversity. If you knew anything about me, you'd know thats how I roll. The fact that I included Dr. Claw in the same sentence might have clued you in to that.

But I just realized over priced rent in New York city can totally be defined as adversity (it means hardship) for anyone choosing to persue their dream instead of just going through the motions and having a uninspiring job doing mediocre work.

Yes, I've CHOSEN to live hand to mouth because I've realized I have to make sacrafices to work this shit out.

What's with the ill will and anonymous animosity (anonymousity).

Why the chip on your shoulder? Would you like to talk about it?
