ONE of my dreams come true

I met this guy who is the coordinator of a show held the first saturday of every month. Its a small restaurant/cafe in the Latin Quarter. He offered me a slot on one of the nights. I would have up to 30 minutes to perform whatever I want and even more, I get paid! Whatever money the cafe makes on drinks and snacks during the night, I get a cut of. DOPE right? I've always wanted to be a bluesy jazz singer in the back of a parisienne cafe. There's only one catch. I have to perform at least one original piece. Ive never even thought about it but he is hooking me up with some of his previous artists so we can write something. Can't wait to perform. Things are a little crazy right now so I think I might do the November show. DOPE!

im in paris!

hey everyone! I started this blog so i could keep you guys updated with my crazy endeavors. Ill keep it up to date with pics and stuff too.

First off, ill tell the story of my living situation. i lived in the dorms for the first 10 days and found and apartment right away. it was a two bedroom place with an older woman. she was renting the living room and one bedroom to Ashley, a girl from my program, and I. We were stoked cuz it was only a 5 minute walk to Notre Dame and in the center of everything. Turns out after the first night that she asked us to leave because we had a friend stay over and didnt get in till 3 am. we convinced her to let us stay then in the middle of the week decided that we werent sure if having to walk on eggshells for an old catlady was worth it and told her we were considering leaving. She convinced us to stay by promising freedom. Low and Behold at the end of the week she asked us to leave again because Ashley had come home after 2 am everymorning and she said we were naiive and headed down the wrong path. crazy much? i think so. so we were happy and moved right away. now i live in a chambre de bonne which is an old maid's quarters on the 6th floor of a beautiful building with no elevator. i WILL have buns of steal at the end of 10 months. i can see the Louvre from my room and Ashely has her own place down the hall and can see the tip of the Eiffel Tower.

I am incredibly happy here. I love everything about Paris. The people, the food, the culture, the history, the arts, the men :), the beauty. I know I have been MIA for a little bit but thats just because of all the hoopla with my housing. Plus on top of that i've had to start a bank account, ifnd and apt, buy a cell phone, buy subscription to the internet, open a landline all on my own, all in french. its been quite an experience but I am loving every second of it. Ill be more detailed in my next post but i just wanted to get this sucka started. Enjoy!

ps. that is my latest pic up there. i was on the metro on the way to a pyrotechnic show and ashley snappped that one. im starting a page to post pics on too.
