Boy Diaries...

I went to the first Monday night of "Wildcat! Wildcat!" residency at the Echo with my friends. It had been a long time that we had been there. I knew nothing about this band and I can never say "no" to a free show. I enjoy being surprised by bands I know nothing about.The established band that was playing at the Echoplex was Greenday so these band had to play louder then them. Every band that went on stage gave cheers to the established band playing downstairs. The bar scene is always the same people drinking and talking while a band jams their hearts out on stage. But no one seems to notice the lonely people sitting in the dark corners drinking and trying to find the "one boy and girl that will take notice..." On this particular night I was being a people watcher when a boy with flip flop trips on this stage like thing I was sitting...my friend and I we reacted so quickly trying to catch the falling boy who had tripped. So this is my warning to boys and clubs

"Never bring your chanclas to the a dark club because you will trip." He definitely made my night...

New Dreams for August..

A new month how "funtastic" time to reflect on the good times of July and the idea of following your dreams. Remember my deadline to finish editing my novel on July 30th well it quite didn't happened. I have a few more chapters of editing and hopefully by tomorrow everything will be polished. This was actually the most ambitious goal ever and I can't believe it is going to be finished. Super excited about sharing this new rewrite of the novel I think this is the 3rd draft or maybe 4th I have lost track. I think the best part of having a project ready to present to an audience is quite exciting, because last Sunday in my writer's workshop I/we debuted my song "Friday Night" to the group. It was the chapter were my girl protagonist and her friend  go to a show to see their favorite girl band and this poem is the song. I've had the melody in my head for five years now until another member of my writer's group was very nice to do the music on ukulele (which sounds freakiiiin incredible) I almost broke down in tears, because I couldn't believe that my song/poem can be so beautiful sounding in someone else's voice. The best moment of the reading was when I did my acappella version very punk rock to the writer's group yes...my first time singing to an audience and the other writer did her version on the ukulele such a magical moment. My colleagues of the workshop enjoyed both performances very much and hopefully we get to perform it pretty soon to an audience. In the meantime I am going to figure out a way to record it and have a demo of the song for the readers of this blog to listen to it. The song is part of the experience of the novel and the protagonists, with all this excitement I think August is going to bring more fun writing adventures, boy diaries moments, and tons of dancing. So please come back and be part of this journey with me.
