sixties good?



ahhh...so much to write. we'll see how much i get out.

i went to see matt nathanson last weekend in northampton. he was so much fun to listen to and he might have been the most hilarious performer i've seen. plus he had 'flight of the conchords' playing just before he came on the stage. i might have been the only person in the room to actually know the song, but it made me happy to hear it and i sang along. classic.

ingrid michaelson opened for him. she was sweet and funny and quirky and talented all rolled into one. highly recommended.

melee also played. they were alright, but they seemed like really good musicians still looking for their sound. i hope they find it. they're talented enough.

i'm enjoying school a lot. we got our phase one final project this week. it's crazy. crazy i tell you. crazy. want me to say it again? crazy. but i'm looking forward to the challenge.

one of my absolute favorite professers, Zide, gave a lecture today on personal projects and it got me to thinking about doing some side work to keep my creative juices flowing. for some reason, 'weird signs' was all i could think of. maybe i'll do a series. if you're bored, and you feel like it, please make suggestions...i'd love to hear what you think would make an interesting series of pictures.

ok. so this was random. and short. but look...i wrote a blog. smile. it's a good thing.


and because i love you...and michael zide...you should go look at his website (www.michaelzide.com) especially the 'fine art' section...but really, i'd encourage you to look at all his work. he is quite amazing. plus he's an excellent professer. and hilarious. seriously, he makes me smile every time i see him.

- being a model is hard. and it sucks.

- dropping a $20,000 piece of camera equipment is a bad thing.
