It figures that just when I felt the need to reenter the blogging ring, the net in my house was down. All weekend, I died a little on the inside and amused myself by listening to music and watching regular TV when I wasn't traipsing about town. It was nice to relax after the super stressful days of the interviewing. I think I'll stick to fiction from now on, thanks.
Special Kitty Power shouts to my interview subjects: Steven, Fizzie, Ms. Mommy, and Hani who came through late at night when I was tearing my hair out -- or in Fizzie's case, in the middle of the Knitting Factory Tap Bar post-Man Man show when we were bullshitting to pass the time. And Lindsey, one of the four I actually planned beforehand that followed through. The one thing I learned from this process was always take more than you need. The scrambling is what killed me. Next time when someone like Hashim offers to volunteer, I'll say "how quick can you get it back" instead of "I dunno if there's room." That definitely was my bad.
So, the blog is back slowly but surely. I'm bursting with things to write. Like why you so need to be on the Man Man album when it drops (October 5, people) -- it's awesome and you can see my liner notes shoutout. (Yeah baby, it pays to be a shill!) And my jammed packed Saturday which included that Dave Chappelle show in Brooklyn and dinner with Lina and randoms and a blast from the past sighting at APT. Also why L.I.C. is the best neighborhood and PrincessNella and I are gonna slide in there soon (*knock on wood*). And you know other shit. Keep watch.
