Um Yeah...
Alright for those of you following this things have taken a turn...the luck I have seem to come out here with may just be running out. I officially have to move to a new apartment. Yup, all those things I said before about being so excited for the place I found in an amazing neighborhood with a great roommie are not so true anymore. I am not gonna say much more about it other than I am looking for a new place which I need to move into by Sept 1st...hot damn this is gonna suck. So if you have any suggestions just let me know!
Other than that things at work are interesting. My best friend at my full time job just got laid off. I was super confused by this because she was so good at what she did. It makes me nervous that at any point my job will just be unnecessary. It almost makes me want to go to medical school just so that I know I will have a job. Someone please tell me otherwise! The music industry is a lot of fun but very unpredictable. It is def a love hate relationship right now.
Well since I have been officially hired full time they have been giving me a lot more responsibility. I have been pitching commercials for some of our artists and doing a lot more publishing and promotion. I still do not have a title however. I love getting to know the business but I am thrown so many random projects that I am only getting skin deep in each division of the business. I want to follow one project all the way through from start to finish so that I know what to do in that instance. PS I love that my degree in Nutrition is being put to great use!
My waiting tables job is going as well as any job in the food industry could go. The people that work there are amazing and can pretty much make me smile with no effort but pretending to be a happy camper all the time not so much fun. I have had a couple really bad days and then had to instantly become perky and whitty (hahaha thats funny) and all of that decides what kind of money you will be walking home with at the end of the night. Not OK. Granted wait wage is a lot more out here then back home but it does not make up for the fact that if I can't make a guest happy I get screwed out of the money for my work. I do eally wish that it made more money cause I work my ass off for the little that I get. I worked more then 65 hours this week and I have very little to show for it. Oh wow this just because a pitty party for myself...jesus...ok done!
One more thing. I have just became the biggest fan of the band Twin Atlantic they are from Scotland and freaking amazing. I really hope they get more press because they deserve it more then most of the acts that are popular these days. If you want some more info on them let me know and I will direct you where to find out. I guess that is it for now!

For Mark
Since I have been told I needed to update this I am. I didn't think anyone read it so Im kinda excited. So here is what has been going on. I will be starting my full time job in the music biz on Monday....crazy I know. I have been in LA for a little over a month and my internship has already turned into a full time job. Its a good thing to because my other job waiting tables is not raking in the money I was expecting it to. But I will be financially set once I start Monday. I am really excited! I am making my way in the music industry and gradually getting one step closer to my dream. I am nervous at the same time because I will be starting the 9-6 office job. This scares me a bit because I like the flexibility of having a day off in the middle of the week but at the same time I need the stability of getting up at the same time every day and going home at the same time every night. Anyway that is the major thing that is going on for me out here in Hollywood.
One of the perks of my job is that I get to go to some really cool events. The other night I got free tickets to the X-games 3D Movie Premier Red Carpet Event. I was stoked. My friend from work and I both brought people and we showed up and took one look at the Red Carpet and immediately found another enterence. HAHAHA me not wanting to be in the spotlight? Well not when Pam Anderson and Hayden Panettiere are there. So we made our way inside and the movie was amazing. I love extreme sports and being able to see the movie with the actually stars was awesome!!
The following night I was able to go to a Park The Van Showcase. It was for three of their bands that we have been working with. The best part was that my name was on "the list" yeah thats right I got to say that as I walked into Hotel Cafe. It felt great. Not only did I get in for free but I skipped the line to get in. Oh man was I cool....hahahaha not really but I felt like I was. So the showcase was amazing. The bands, Generationals, Golden Boots, and Floating Action, were so good. If you have not checked them out I highly recommend you do. So that is it for right now as far as events go.
Star Sightings!!!!
So since I have been out here seeing someone famous is pretty much part of an everyday adventure. Not always a super famous person but if I can recognize them then they are famous to me. So first off I walked into work the other day and immediatly was told I had a table outside that was just having drinks. As I walked out the door I ran right into Justin Hartley from Passions (which is what I new him from) and Smallville. Holy crap he is beautiful. Well turns out he was with several other caste members from Passions. I was so excited that show was middle school for me. But anyway needles to say they were great and I had a lot of fun waiting on them.
Next, and guys pay attention, Carmen Electra was in our office on Friday. Yup you read correct, Carmen Electra. HAHAH I guess she may be coming out with an album....who knew.
The final star sighting that I have for now is Chris North, Mr. Big from Sex and the City. He came into the resturaunt the other day and all the girls were going nuts. He is not to hard on the eyes in person. And he paid for his whole tables meal nice guy huh. But other then that I don't have anything cool to say about him since I did not wait on him.
Well that is about it as far as star sightings are concerned. I will leave you with some suggestions and hopefully I will not have to wait 3 weeks to update this.
