Cisco Adler!!!

Okay so this has nothing to do with anything this blog is about but to follow up on my moment with Cisco Adler, I messaged him on my space telling him how stoked I was to see him in person and how I should have just screamed his name and called him over instead of running away like a little girl! I've wanted to meet this dude since last year. His music is awesome and he always seemed like a totally fun dude to chill with. Anyways this was a follow up, it said he read my message but didn't answer, so I told him that wasn't cool but todayyyyy he did and I am so ridiculous. I know I am, trust me. It wasn't anything big haha but it made my day. All he said was:
"nooooooo!!!babe i dont always see every message on here
what did it say
and yes i like when girls scream my name"
Did you ever read the book The Secret? Well it says that the Universe always finds a way to bring things that you want or things that you want to happen, to you. It's always worked for me since I read it and was aware of this way of thinking. Yeah unrealistic that me and Cisco would become best friends, but we did see each other in person and have exchanged words. Close enough for me. :)

Stay Local @ Lokal

This weekend has been so eventful, I can not even begin to tell you. I barely had any time to stop moving it was insane. It was enjoyable everything, but painful! I came out of this weekend with a lot of cuts and bruises all on my own doing haha sheesh! Friday night we went to Annex and I was absolutely stoked because I haven't been there in a while and I love it there. I danced my little butt off the whole time it was great and I still highly recommend it there. It's such a fun atmosphere. Saturday I went to Warped Tour...I think this will be my last year. I feel a bit too old for it, not that I am old but it doesn't feel the same as it did when I was 15. The greatest thing ever was that Cisco Adler was there and I was not aware he was going to be. I'm sure for anyone else they could care less because most people either think he is a grime ball or saying "Cisco who?" Anyways, we had a moment ahaha he caught me looking at him and did something I don't know how to put into words but it was cute and then I ran back to my boyfriend and friends because I felt super silly. That was the biggest hi-light of my warped tour day I think. Sunday was MGMT and The Ting Tings, and I can't even express enough how great they both played. So amazing! The Ting Tings energy is insane and I completely fed off of it and MGMT was so on key they were great. On top of that there was intense lightning and thunder and it was pouring the whole while. It made things interesting to say the least. After that me and my friends ate at a place called Lokal, it's located on the corner of Nassau and Lorimer. It was so delicious, I got a grilled vegetable plate. I ate it so fast they were the most tasty vegetables ever I wanted more but I was unfortunately very broke this weekend. But my advice would be to try out their food, everyone thoroughly enjoyed theirs. So delicious. I do apologize for my long gaps in posting, I hope you could understand how busy my schedule has been and I will try my hardest to try and post more when I find little bits of time. Love you peeps!

Take only what you need from it...

Hello Bridge and Tunnelers! I finished my summer class today! So excited that I don't have to have that in the back of my head anymore. Now just summer lovin' and no worries. I am stoked. This weekend I'm going to see MGMT and The Ting Tings at where else than the McCarren Park Pool. I am so so excited. These are two of my most favorite bands. So I am expecting a good day with my boyfriend and good music. I've been getting these E-mails from DailyOM which also has a great book out as well that you should get into. It's all about the way the universe works and a better way at thinking and resolving conflicts in your life. From the most simple things to the most extreme it rationalizes everything. This is an excerpt from my E-mail today ( I swear I look forward to these every day, they keep me in line.) : "As you breathe rhythmically today, you may discover that your muscles loosen and your mental clarity returns." This whole E-mail was about getting rid of any anxieties or stresses that may come into your life simply by focusing on your breathing. The more shallow your breathing is when your anxious the less oxygen your body gets to to relieve itself of any mental cloudiness. Rhythmic breathing lets your body know everything is well. So you can basically breathe your way into wellness and it's so true. Your body does feel calm when you do breathing exercises. It's a big part of Yoga which I am also a major fan of. I would definitely check out DailyOM's website and add yourself to the mailing list. I have my e-mails sent to my phone so that I have them with me wherever I am at any part of the day. They're a great lift me up. I hope all is well loveys and maybe I will see you guys in Brooklyn this weekend? Hope so!

Jengaaaa!

This weekend I really had so much fun and it was doing simple things, but I find that that is always the best. You don't always need a lot going on to have a good time with your friends. I went to BK around 12 AM on saturday night, completely random. (Me and Ryan weren't going to go till Sunday) We met up with a few of our friends and went to this bar The Levee. I almost immediately fell in love with this place. It was comfortable, fun, and had a amazing vibe. They have a really extensive menu for beers, some of the weirdest beers I've never even heard of but I stuck to PBR's because they were only $2 and you can't beat that. Their menu for food is almost funny but it's really what you'd like to eat when you're drinking. It consisted of things such as peanut butter and jelly, cheese balls, popcorn, a frito pie (never had or heard of it but it could be good!), ruffles and french onion dip and so much more but that is such a strange menu. They serve food till 4 AM too so it's pretty neat. Aside from their menu they have board games all over the place for you to play, me and my friends played Jenga and Connect Four. Games like these are so much more intense when you have a few drinks in you haha. After Levee we headed to another bar our friend Bryan was telling us about and he took us to this door that led to a long hallway, it was super discrete we were like " where the heck are you taking us?" The door had one of those things you slide like in the Wizard of Oz and he asks for a password, I had to make a crack at that. You don't need a password though (although I think that would have made things exciting), you open the door and then you're thrown into this super chic bar that I was absolutely thrown over about the decor. Not what I had expected. It was so nice and the fact that it was so discrete on the outside made it so much more surprising to see what was going to be on the other side. This place was called Larry Lawrence. You should definitely check it out with your friends, it feels like you have your own little secret world to yourself. I loved the place it was not what I expected. Sunday I did go to McCarren Park to see Matt and Kim and I had such a great time. Their energy is so extreme, Kim has the most giant smile the whole time she plays and Matt is just hysterical. Their energy together is so electric and contagious you can't help but feel good listening to their music and watching them play. If you missed them definitely try and see them next time they're around. They're awesome for a good spirit lift. Okay it's time for me to get some food in my belly it's yelling at me! See you soon loveys!

Summer time and the livin's easy

How is everyone's summer going so far? Mine has been quite amazing and fun so far. I have no complaints. I wish the weather was consistently nice out but hey, the days (like today) that are beautiful I enjoy the best I can. This weekend I'm going to see Matt and Kim at McCarren Park Pool for free. I can't wait, it should be a great show and a fun day. It's this Sunday the 13th@ 2PM till dusk. I hope to see you guys there. You should really check out their music if you're not familiar with them. They're really upbeat and fun. I like to listen to them when I'm getting ready so I leave my house in a super good mood. I feel like I have minimal time this summer for everything that I planned. I forgot that even though I'm taking some classes online they would still be time consuming. I've been trying to juggle this blog, my art work, classes, my job, and a social life all at once. I enjoy it all though I don't feel like a bump on a log. I really hope you're all enjoying your summers and that the events I've been posting have been fun and interesting for you to go to. I really really hope to see you all there. There will be hot dogs and brooklyn beer inside. Yummmmmy. Don't forget bathing suits and towels! There's a giant blow up and slip n' slide! See you all there loveys!

Wet Hot American Summer!

McCarren Park Pool is having a screening of Wet Hot American Summer tomorrow night at 8PM for free. If you haven't already seen this movie you should it should be a staple in any ones list of favorite movies. If you have already seen it go see it again under the stars on a beautiful summer night. Bring your love bird and be cute together on a blanket giggling like little school girls to a great movie. That's not it though! The doors open at 4PM for live music and food you could make a whole day out of it. It will be one of those moments in summer that you'll never forget and think that was a really good day. I'm getting all starry eyed just thinking about it.

It's been a while...

I've been quite busy with work and painting lately and my friend just had a baby! I've been away from bridge and tunnel a lot longer than I thought. Just a little overwhelmed with things. Anyways I just started reading The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again) written by Andy Warhol. I haven't been able to put it down. It's so amazing the way his mind works, he writes the way he thinks and you can see how random his thoughts pop out...in the middle of talking about money he says "I hate sundays, there's never anything open..." and then continues talking about the "green". So in tribute to how much I love Andy Warhol...there is actually a event tomorrow in tribute to him, his work, and the factory and it should be absolutely amazing. It's tomorrow at Don Hills on Spring st. in Manhattan. There will be go go dancers, cabaret, makeovers, iconic artwork by Warhol, and live performances by The Rats, and The Hunt. If you are a fan of Warhol and his life and work this would be the event for you. It's $10 and starts at 10 PM. Go go go and have the time of your life and tell me all about it and take pictures because I will be at work . Major sad face for me. Arite loveys, I gotta go paint! Sorry for the long break in writing!
