2-13-10 First winter in old new york
Hola Amigos! it’s been a beautiful winter here in New York City and I have survived. Busy between words but fruitful and sweet. Been really enjoying the east coast winter and absolutely loving the snow which I never lived in before now. Oddly enough, its funny, i have been caught in every blizzard to hit the east coast this winter. I was in DC seeing Tea Leaf Green at the 9:30 Club when their biggest blizzard ever hit. And the following weekend in I attended two Turbine shows in Philly where the city advised no one to go anywhere due to their worst blizzard ever. And now all throughout NY, it’s been blizzard central for a few weeks. I’ve been on Blizzard Tour 2010! Wooooooo! But yeah, It’s been really cool though. It’s like frozen magic in the air. Everything about the winter here has been quite exhilarating. Quite.
Lately, I am working on many things. Been busier than a cheetah’s lunch hour. Do have some shows coming up that I am excited about. Started working with a music licensing company part time in addition to event promotion and soon to be full time in publicity and marketing for Turbine. I went on the road with Turbine every weekend this past month and they have been tearing it up with reckless abandon in every city, which has been great to see. They have a knack for blowing minds and taking names. They do have some local hometown shows coming up which we are really excited about. Playing the famous Bowery Ballroom in March and the next day at The Velvet Lounge in Long Island this friday so a rockin show at a great spot where we first welcomed Turbine’s new drummer, the amazing Octavio Salmon, last month. Shortly after they return from their cross country tour out to Colorado and all points in between, they will also headline the Mercury Lounge which we are all excited about. We love to rock it with the natives.
As for now, that is my short report.
Hope you all are doing absolutely fantastic!
Here’s a great clip of a great seasonal New York song by Billie Holiday:
