Things just continue to be busy. My job has pretty much consumed a great deal of time, but at least it hasn't consumed me entirely. I really do like what I do, and it does help that I'm getting paid well to do it. And I'm even getting more responsibilities and such ( Read more... )

I am thankful for a number of things this year, but I'll try to generalize these things, since I wanna cite these great events in my end-of-the-year review entry.

So here's what I'm thankful for.

I'm thankful for NYC.  Since the move back, I've seen more shows, and have had more of an opportunity to land a job.  And now I'm a full-timer in the ( Read more... )

With a show of course ( Read more... )

As some of you may have known (I know I haven't talked much about my real life lately), I've been temping at a corporate finance firm for the past 6 months. I should've been gone three months ago, but my immediate supervisor liked me too much for her to let me go, and so she offered me a chance to stay on a bit longer. And then some ( Read more... )

As of tonight, internet service has come to the home, so now I'll be blogging/MySpace junkie from home, as opposed to being at Starbucks. It also means I'll be online more often.

I know, I've been bad. I only update when there's a concert review, and that's it. I've updated the Xanga every now and then with my quick thoughts on the baseball postseason, which has now whittled down to rooting for the Detroit Tigers, just to spite the Cards. So yeah, as my friend Tina updates here but never the Xanga, I update the Xanga but ( Read more... )

Are you ready for three quickie concert reviews in one entry? I hope so. Here we go.

Rob Blackledge/Toby Lightman/Matt Wertz @ The Knitting Factory, 9/30/06The Toby/Matt co-headliner rocked! Toby and Matt both had that intensity and emotion that makes them awesome musicians. Rob was also amazing with his three-song acoustic set, but unfortunately ( Read more... )

The last time I saw a full-length John Mayer set was two years ago. It was a private show at the Bowery Ballroom, primarily sponsored by Rolling Stone magazine, and also sponsored by Heineken, Axe Body Spray, and some energy drink ( Read more... )

Will Hoge @ Mercury Lounge in NYC, 9/9/06Having to run a few errands in the afternoon, I walked down East Houston Street to see Will Hoge's Purple Tour Bus. I pass by the Mercury Lounge and catch Adam (lead guitar) and Dean (bass) hanging around outside for a bit before they had to warm up. I had a quick conversation with Adam and then I took off ( Read more... )
