Okay, so real quick....
I just met Neil Finn! You know, from Crowded House and Split Enz, more recently of The Finn Brothers. I LOVE NEIL FINN. He's in town for a show tonight and was walking down the street after I picked up my print from Fields. I yelled at my friend Kim, "That's Neil Finn!" and we deliberated whether to ask him for his autograph. So I drove around the block and we parked. I grabbed one of my Crowded House cassettes and a Sharpie and we went in search. I found him in a outdoor/bike store and he was soooooo nice. He was thoroughly impressed that I had a tape and wrote on it: "Hi Jill Tapes Rule", then signed his name. He was even nice enough to ask me what I was studying when I said I couldn't make it to the concert tonight because I had class. Plus, he looks good for an older gent. :D !!!

AND, I just got paid for a photo-illustration for Lawrence.com. It's going to be the cover photo and I'm super excited because this is the first paid work I've had. I'm even getting free tix to mc chris because I wrote one of my blog entries about the upcoming show.

I can't help but feel like things are coming together and that kinda scares me.

Have a tribute to self-love installation up in the Olive Gallery right now, and two photos in Art Guild show this weekend. I'll post the pics later. Right now, I'm very scattered.

Cool that you met him. I'd skip class! I'm excited to see the show.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I would...but I also shouldn't be spending money. :/

[scratchtasia.livejournal.com]

Funny, and today I've been desperately looking for someone to take my extra ticket because my friend Heather can't go. But I think another friend is going now--I'll find out shortly.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Wow, let me know. It doesn't start 'til 8, right?

[scratchtasia.livejournal.com]

I just talked to my friend and he's going . . . sorry to be a tease.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

S'all good. I need to be in class anyway...which is funny, because I'm not right now. Heh. :)

[zooooop.livejournal.com]

Man, the mcchris show I went to was way fun. And I don't know if I would have known about it if you hadn't mentioned a little while back that you're going to one, so thanks!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Yay! I was a little worried about a live show.

”An artist is not paid for his labour but for his vision.” -- James MacNeill Whistler

I'm not really sure it matters what's being paid for, as long as you're bringing home the benjamins. Or Hamiltons or whatever. Congrats.

Furthermore, as a contributing stockholder in Shameless Bastard, Ltd., I say you should treat yourself to the concert. But that's just me.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

AHA! I knew it was you!
Sadly, your donation went toward a textbook. Don't you feel special? :)

[ponsonbybritt.livejournal.com]

I had sorta hoped you'd deduce it. If for no other reason than 'cuz I didn't want you thinkin' it was from some creepy stranger; just a rather dorky one.

Textbooks, music, pinwheel sex toys... I figure it all goes to a good cause.

Let us know when the cover art comes out for all to see.

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

I am off to class, so I am not listening today. So no need to dedicate any songs to me today.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Awww. I was going to light some candles and chant your name...your lj name.

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

You're not by some strange miracle in LA at thee end ov march/beginning ov april, are you?

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I actually might be around April 7th or so, not entirely sure about the date yet.

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

I leave April 9th... it'd be nifty if we could meet up, imo

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I should be there before then. That would be nifty!

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

Yeah... and this is a pretty remarkable coincidence, btw!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

fo' sho'

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

Are you gonna play me something tomorrow? Like... Death in Vegas?

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Hey! Since you said Death In Vegas, sure!

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

Sweeeeet! Good thing I didn't go with my initial ABBA request!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Or New Kids On The Block. I know you love the one who looks like a monkey.

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

Seriously tough, who hasn't mastErbated thinking ov that guy at least once?

I even brought it in with me!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I forgot to play Death In Vegas. :(

Re: I even brought it in with me!

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

I cried all day, but I will probably be able to forgive you... I was about to call and re-request it

Re: I even brought it in with me!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

You should have!

Re: I even brought it in with me!

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

I wasn't sure if I'd get you directly on thee phone or if some douche would be answering, and I kept putting it off till it was actually too late :(

Re: I even brought it in with me!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I'm the only douche that answers the phone at that hour.

Re: I even brought it in with me!

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

You are a douche with a pleasing voice. I just might call at some point, knowing there are no intermediaries.

Cough up your email? This comment-exchange is losing its novelty...

Re: I even brought it in with me!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

pirateblu@yahoo.com. But don't get smarmy or I'll punch you in the face, verabally of course.

Re: I even brought it in with me!

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

w00t

Re: I even brought it in with me!

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

There. Used with new smarmy stuff. Hope it doesn't get sorted into some sort ov spam folder.

I've seen thee future, baby, it is murder

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

I noticed that you've played me two songs, both about murder. Shall I consider it a death threat?

Answer thee email? ~prod~ there was even a total lack ov smarmy comments!

Re: I've seen thee future, baby, it is murder

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

HEY MAN, I'VE BEEN BUSY.
;p

Re: I've seen thee future, baby, it is murder

[bedlammessiah.livejournal.com]

Hah! well... uhh... I have been too busy to check email anyway! So, hah!
