Busy



2006 is speeding straight ahead and it's already the second week in Oct, wtf? I've been really slack the last couple of months in posting on here so apologies for that.

Right, after Lollapalooza there was the Purenation Festival in early Sept which was pretty good but I think it would've been better if Tiesto (bless) hadn't half-assed it. No worries, though! It was great to be outside and meet some new people with my concert friends.

Sept was chock-full of dates, seeing the family, and a trip to NYC to run amok with Meredith from Sydney. New York is a great city, really different from Chicago (not saying Chi-town is any less great just different in a good way). The only bad thing is that there are too many people, even worse than London or Paris (but maybe not Tokyo or Hong Kong? I'll find out in a year or two). But NYC definitely had excellent pizza slices (photo above)!

Oct holds more dates, trips to the family in the suburbs, and of course Halloween! I guess I'm dressing up this year (haven't in a VERY long time, it's just for you, Elsworth). Btw, went to the Paul van Dyk concert last weekend and it was WICKED! This was one of the best concerts all year along with Tiesto which was at the same venue (the Congress Theatre), they are extremely talented. Hey Fay, just to let you know-Ladytron was in Chicago on Friday! I thought of you and was sorry I was too poor to go...next time around, right?

Other major thing, I was made permanent at my job and I'm in charge of handling some big projects that while are a bit intimidating are very satisfying! Too bad I have no cash...due to moving apartments to be closer to downtown and paying security desposits, rent, etc etc, money is a no-go for awhile. Well, you can't have everything!

P.S. The Chicago Film Festival is going on at the moment and I'm going to check out "Dixie Chicks: Shut up and Sing" and the doco "Iraq in Fragments." Finally Americans are seeing what I, as well as the International Community and other open-minded Americans, have seen over three and a half years ago. It's about BLOODY time!
