Summer solstice

Hope everyone had a wonderful first day of summer.

Chris and i went on a super long walk with the pups in the park in our neighborhood.

It was glorious.

Today I am working with the one beat crew on a mobile studio at the bang on a can marathon and i am super stoked.

(I am up before 2 on a sunday!)

No idea what to expect.

I'll try to tame lots of pictures and I'll share the tracks we make when they are posted online.

Happy sunday!!

Did you do anything special for the longest day of the year??

HI HI!

hope your wednesday is off to a fantastic start.
mine has been full of dog walks, tofu scramble sandwiches, and watching silly videos with the husband.

but after this post it is time to get into some work.
mainly practicing and working on stuff for the internship.

did i mention i started my internship last week??
it is actually pretty amazing i really like it.

my job is to curate articles and blog posts for the new website that will launch this week.

it will be so weird to see stuff i post on the internet in a place where people will read it and maybe learn something and want to research it more or go to a show because i posted about it.

it's different than here where usually i am just rambling freely about whatever i feel like.

but because of the internship i have been spending a lot more time in brooklyn than i ever have before.
yesterday after work one of my coworkers and i went on a walk/ picnic a park in brooklyn that made me so jealous of everyone who gets to live there.

the views are amazing and so much prettier than what you get to look at in manhattan.

see for yourself...

the roof of the building i work in

view from the park.
that bridge i am on moves when you walk across it and it is truly terrifying.

the park we walked in is where the barge for barge music is parked and it was so nice to sit and watch the tour boats go by in wonderful hot weather.

I actually couldn't believe how small the barge was. I've been wanting so see a concert there for years but now seeing how small it is i imagine its pretty tough to get a ticket.

you can read more about the place where i am interning here 1beat.org
there is nothing i wrote on there yet but there should be later this week when the new site launches.

A Saturday donut adventure.

Happy saturday!

Today was supposed to be a beach day.
But seeing as we didn't go to bed until 6 am, we kind of slept through prime beach hours. Plus the train ride would take so much time and no work would get done today.

Instead we went on in a donut hunt in our neighborhood.

We finally found some at 181 and Amsterdam at Bizcocho Dominicano, which doesn't sound like a prime donut spot but the sugar donut was so fluffy and incredible ( the chocolate sprinkle one was cute but not so great )

After chris and I took a well deserved walk around the neighborhood and for the first day in months I got so sweaty.

It was magic.

P.s. i found out last night that I got hired for paid summer internship at a super exciting non profit and I am super excited!!!
But I'll post more on this at a later time.

Now it's time for beer and saturday cartoons.

Anthropology sale wish list.

hiii!

hope you all had a great weekend.

mine was spent mainly curating some writing samples to hopefully get this paid internship with a super interesting non profit. keep your fingers crossed.
It was fun but still stressful.
luckily the 1 train was down so i couldn't really go anywhere if i wanted too.

there was also an awesome street fair on St. Nicholas full of venders, games, and so much yummy food.
it was great and warm outside all day, but of course as soon as i step out of my house it starts to drizzle, which doesn't faze me and as soon as i get to the fair it starts to pour. for a while i just walked around in it but then it got cold and on my walk back home in the rain it just stopped and the vendors removed there tarps and the fair was back on.
