One of the greatest highlights of 2009 was meeting the Queen…Queen Esther that is. She and I were introduced by one of the finest, intelligent filmmakers I have yet to meet (Yea – that’s her being loud at the beginning of the Joe’s Pub clip – see video below) and clicked instantly. In true Auntie [...]
I went to my friend, & fellow Tisch alumnus, Rod Gailes’ New York Premier of his feature film “Camouflage” last week. It’s a very intriguing, thought provoking visual journey/film shot during the pre-gentrification of Harlem. I believe Rod began production on “Camouflage” close to 15 years ago. One of the many thoughts the film will [...]
Ah. Sign of the times (cue Prince). I have been getting requests about “how to throw a networking party”. My first thought was I’ve never thrown a networking party – but wait! Correction – all of my parties are potential networking parties. The deal with a networking party is, unlike other events, it really is [...]
Blurb. Blurb. Blurb. See how easy that was? I sent out an email recently called “Let’s Be Selfish” asking my friends to consider supporting self-published, self-distribution or self-promoting artists for the holidays. It was a fun email to create, I found the title “Selfish for the Holidays” entertaining (and really all I want in life [...]
Facebook is truly one of the most fascinating companies. I came to the site, kicking and screaming, but once there was very happy and amused to reconnect with long lost friends. However, consistently Facebook has said “fuck you” to its users. Its as if Coca Cola kept New Coke on the shelves or Tylenol stuck [...]
I am very happy to report that The Arsonist and my alter-ego CMart has returned to the internet. Its the much bitchier side of me (I know, I know – and you thought I was an angel).
IMHO, most people in the music industry are idiots. But there are those blessed few hustlers. Prince, of course, comes to mind. He is more prolific than God and just gives his music away. Or Moby who licensed his music for countless commercials. (and find me one person who doesn’t own “Play”). And this morning, [...]
Who needs Time Out Magazine when you have friends like mine? One of those friends is Aaron Castellano (aka The Crew’s Director) at Limachips. Thanks to him, I am never at a loss for events in NYC or Worldwide. Limachips is doing their fabulous “1 on 1″ party again this Saturday. These parties are the [...]
(yes, sung like “food glorious food”). One of my absolute favorite books of all time is “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” by T Harv Eker where I solidified how important it is to promote oneself. I’ve always said “no one will ever believe in your career more than you do”. So it’s always been my [...]
Some people are just so damn funny. I love a good rant, rave or babble. This blogger commented on one of my posts so I thought I’d return the favor and give his a look see. Different but equally enjoyable. After reading this specific post related to the Holy Society etc, check out his “About [...]
