Some Bowery Open Mic stuff






Here are a few videos from last weeks open mic at Bowery Poetry Club..I have learned that when you sit in the front row, and you are one out of three girls that are in attendance, you get A LOT of attention,including getting called a "teddy" and getting a fake flower from a clown who later took it back..sniffle..
Anywhore, Here is the "Blaze Up Clique" talking about "teddy's", Ahem. Yes, really. And the clown..and the very funny Jessica Delfino doing two songs..this past monday, she sang about taking back back fat...I wish I taped it. I was too busy getting blacked out drunk with Jim Gaffigan and his wife..I was drunk at least, maybe not them. They were funny though..and I think I was too from what I can remember..I started out at Liam McEneaney's Tell Your Friends at Lolita Bar which was awesome..Then drank my way to Bowery, got wasted, craziness ensued and I stumbled to Odessa Bar until late late late..Then I woke up and as the bits and pieces of my night came back to me..little by little..I vowed to be productive the next week. So I am trying to book some shows in Italy and at music festivals or next spring and summer..Our new CD ia done, just waiting on Crumb to send the artwork now..it'll be out in about a month and a half I guess..Got a lot done today and submitted for some jobs..Being a starving artist would be more fun if I had money. Just a little, not too much. Here's a few pics of me pretending to be on the tech crew at Night of Too Many Stars..I had my pass made up for me after all...

Randomish stuff plus Brownies at Ray's..






I am all backed up on my blogging..due to a somewhat crazy week..my friend Michael Shenker who've i've known since I was like 15, passed away. Kind of a shock to me-I hadn't realized he was that sick. He was in a lot of pain though, so that's over for him now at least. Ugh.

On a more cheerful note, I got into the The Night of Too Many Stars show at the Beacon..Had a backstage pass made up for me even, but the show was over..it was kinda for a joke. The show was really funny though..Chris Rock, David Letterman, Robin Williams, Sarah Silverman, Jim Gaffigan, Tracy Morgan, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Jon Stewart, and even damn Paul Simon was on it..It'll be on TV on the 19th or something..and I just ruined all the surprise guests for you all! SURPRISE! I'll post pics next blog maybe..just a bunch of me pretending I was on the tech crew..none of celebs though..just little old me..

Anyway the first pic is of the kid who started Facebook..That damn Social Network film has gotten so many great reviews, I gotta go see it this week.

Then at Ray's, he's got a t-shirt special going on..Plus, the lovely Amy is back and selling cheesecake brownies which I hear are delicious. I don't eat food or I would try one. Food is for the weak!

Then my friend made this pic of me as a chimp..my favorite show Chimp Eden about a chimp sanctuary is an obsession for me..You really get involved with these chimps and their problems and personalities..Cozy is my fave-he's nuts! Well, tomorrow i'll be at Tell Your Friends at Lolita Bar, then Odessa Bar..maybe Bowery too..which is why tonight I pretty much just met a friend at Mars for one beer then came home to blog. There's a lot of bar to go to tomorrow. At least i've been going to the gym a lot..now if only I would get some calls for Aftra jobs..sigh..
