Person I Was Supposed To Photograph, But Ran Away From Instead:
- Jim Carrey
Just him. When I saw him right in front of me, I freaked out and ran the other way. I’m such a fucking dork.
Art is best viewed with some wine. I’m currently in Carmel for LA Weekends and having a grand time. I had some delicious organic food at Casanova (the table where Vincent Van Gogh enjoyed his last meals at Auberge Ravoux is here), cheeses from around the world at The Cheese Shop, and probably too much wine at a number of wineries. Oh, and they were all walking distance from each other. This place is great.
I think Justin’s biggest mistake was giving me this ukulele. “Let’s cover a song!” is now something I say to everyone I see (while making ^- that face). Anyway, this is going to be great weekend for many reasons, but the most important ones are:
- It’s Justin’s birthday.
- We’re going to Disneyland.
- And Universal Studios.
- All in one weekend.
I should probably take some Red Bull. Tomorrow, I’m also covering Caveman at the Troubadour, which I am really excited about. Chamber folk music will always be my jam! If you’re watching that show, good for you! And maybe see you there.
A cover of Bishop Allen’s “Butterfly Nets”. I was bored, you guys!!! And Justin gave me a ukulele so… what’s a girl to do?
Well, I am back. Thanks for the memories, Arizona!
Love Song
Vicious the Boat
“Love Song” by Vicious The Boat
We’d like to thank Shinji Manlangit and Francis Cabal for helping us produce this song. Oh, and our EP’s coming out this February. :)
Tell me, love, will you stay?
I’ve got something to say
Months from now, years from now
For if I find you somehowIf I nag, if I blame
I hope I don’t scare you away
Know that I’m still the same
From when you first met meI like too many sci-fi movies
My mind always flies around
But I hope you’ll find these faults amusing
Little quirks that make you smileSo, my love, if you’re there
Know that I’m just miles away
In my room, full of gloom
Writing you a song
Wow, this was almost exactly a year ago! Well, it’s still the month of ~*love*~ so enjoy! Free download available on Bandcamp.
Allow me to celebrate a little bit because it hasn’t even been 24 hours since we published it, but our Mendocino County feature has already surpassed 400 shares. Yay! Check it out if you still haven’t.
I am back! I am tired.
My last GPOY for 2012! I’m off to a Cake concert to welcome the new year!
2013 is fast approaching! Looking back, I think I had a pretty fulfilling year. I started Restless Cities in January and since then we’ve covered dozens of shows in Manila and Los Angeles. About seven months after the launch, we introduced Weekends (which is now called, more appropriately, LA Weekends) which has taken us to three different cities now. More importantly, I managed to cover my dream show for the site — Sufjan Stevens’ Christmas extravaganza just a few weeks ago and that marked my third time seeing the guy live. Another music-related thing: I achieved my 2012 concert goal which was to see Beirut live. And yes, I bloody well did!
I feel extremely blessed to have done so many things this year that I’m extremely proud of. Hopefully, 2013 brings in more good things!
How was your year?
