Boo.

I definitely just found out tonight that Express Jet, my favorite airline ever, is canceling their service from Oklahoma City AND Tulsa to Austin. Boo to them.

(Is this my first "rant" post??? Kind of lame, I know.)

Hunting.

So, I'm looking for an internship for the summer. I would love to work for a festival promotions company, like C3 here in Austin. I found Superfly, based in NYC, and they're looking really good! They put on Bonnaroo, Vegoose and Jazzfest. I sent over my resume and cover letter Monday and I'm calling the intern coordinator today to check in!

Also, I talked with Chris Carrington, a buddy from OSU and the Orange Peel executive director from when I was the marketing director, and he's looking around LA for some contacts for me! Goldenvoice puts on the Coachella festival and I'd love to intern there, so I'm crossing my fingers for a name and phone number I can call!

I found who puts on Rothbury, a killer fest in Michigan. The company is based in Boulder, CO, so I wouldn't be able to get funding from the grant people. (The internship has to be in Nashville, Miami, Atlanta, NYC or LA.)

Ah, I feel a little frantic trying to get this done. The grant application is due April 11, so I must have my internship before then! Good luck to me.

Hippies.

WOW! So, Langerado was AMAZING! Jeff and I really had an excellent adventure down in the Everglades. If you'd like to view the Web album I made, click here. You'll find a bunch of crazy hippies, great bands and the usual fabulous stuff you see at a four-day music festival. Ah, I love it.

Here I am, so excited to be at a show!


On another note, I just sent my resume and cover letter to Superfly Presents for a summer internship. They put on Vegoose, Jazzfest and Bonnaroo...needless to say, I hope I can get there and show them that I kick ass with music industry promotions. Ah, the dream!

Voting Day.

Happy voting, Texas. Let's see who comes out on top with this very important issue...



God bless The Onion.

Animal.

I like how Animal Planet used footage and beautiful, high res photos to portray its cast. I'm happy with this commercial because of the presentation.

One more day until I leave for Langerado! Woo!

New York?

Today I learned that I can apply for a grant if I get a summer internship with a music industry-related group. I would need to travel to Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, New York or Nashville. But if I landed an internship and got the grant I could get up to $6,000 to live off of. Wow. So, the search begins...

(By the way, I can't even begin to explain how excited I am about this...)
