EarthQuaker!

This morning I was disturbed (minorly) by an earthquake, or more so by my mom calling me at 7:30PCT to make sure I wasn't dead from the earthquake. Obviously, since I am writing this now, I am not dead, but a little cranky from being woken up.

Aside from the lovely rumbles of Mother Nature, there's nothing that crazy and wonderous to report. I'm still working over at Centerstaging, and enjoying my time there. Right now the main focus is on the ShowBiz Expo which will be happening at the end of next month. Today we had a meeting as to how to approach the festivities, and I believe we'll be able to take the bull by the horns on this one and create a successful promotion for CS. Sadly plans to Austin for SXSW did not work out for me. I really wanted to go, not only for the fact of promoting CS and Soundcheck, but also because it is my one and only true escape every year. I am bummed I'm going to miss out on all sorts of new good music, but maybe this is just the year NOT to go?

In other news I am working on booking for Red Wine Rewind and Jim Hanft which is taking up most of my afternoons. Things are going fairly well with that and I'm hoping I'll be able to book a good tour for both these bands since they have quality music which I enjoy listening to. Another thing I'm now involved in is free lancing for Valley Scene Magazine. I'm still unsure if it's just an online publication or something in print. I seem to recall picking up their magazine last year at Dupar's in Studio City, but I could be completely wrong. So far, I've done two reviews for them, one theater, one music, i'm hoping more music reviews will come my way, they did need someone for the Grand Re-Opening of The Key Club, but unfortunately it was a last minute deal and I had to work. LAME.

Also, music writing is going good. I recently came up with a song that has clapping and a toy piano and some simple synth and guitar, now I just have to finish writing the lyrics. Aside from that Barry and I are at a continual need to finish these other three songs. I need to get the break down for two of them and send them to Scotty, I don't think they'll ever be done in the complete fashion I want, and I'd rather him just look it over and play with it for me before the producing offer goes off the table with him.

Hmmm...what else? Well this evening I'm going to the craft store to find a scarf that goes with this new seahorse pin Tamra got me for my Bday. Then I'm going to head over to Birkham Yoga, which is this 108 degree yoga class that Rene got me into. I'm hoping this will be a good kickoff before i detox next week. The plan as of now is hot yoga this week, master cleanse next week, and then raw fruit and veggies the week after. I just want to cleanse my system, it helps so much and I'd like to make it a yearly routine.

Well now i'm going to clean my place for a little bit, maybe squeeze the juice outta these remaining lemons to prep for the cleanse next week. chowza!
