I...can do anything...

...remember the Reading Rainbow theme song? hah. But really... I keep lucking out to the max. My internship has been going really well; it's a lot of work, but I do all of it from home online. So far I've been managing facebook groups and other online networking sites for the artists that MusicDish represents, and I've also been doing a lot of marketing research to promote the bands and the company. It's kind of crazy working on the, like, 15 different websites and trying to multi-task nonstop, but it's really cool getting to see what goes on behind the scenes in the industry. By far my favorite aspect of the job is writing press releases and music reviews -- and I got my first music review published on MusicDish's online mag! --> http://www.musicdish.com/mag/?id=12296

I can't even explain how ecstatic I am to have ended up in music journalism, after trading in my journalism major for English, and assuming that I would never have a chance to get back into journalistic writing. I also never thought I would be able to write music reviews, even though it's been a huge dream of mine. So YAY! I'm hoping I can continue to learn about music journalism and get to keep moving on up in the field! :)

I also just got hired as a counselor for the GO GREEN summer camp, which is a partnership between NYU and the YMCA. I'll just be working the month of July in the afternoons, pretty much just entertaining kids ages 6-11 and playing with them in the pool. Pretty sweet.

Other than interviewing, I got to see a band I was sort of street teaming for called the Black and White Years, who were AWESOME. OH and I went to the Alicia Keys concert on Wednesday and also got to see Jordin Sparks, Ne-yo, and *surprise guest* Rihanna, which was fantastic. Ms. Keys played for a solid 2 hours & even got the entire packed Madison Square Garden to sing (on-key) "No One." Definitely the highlight of the night. God, I love live music.
