Congrats stacymichelle! Lots of great submissions, posting other potential winners as well.

i win at everything forever.

also, this has happened to me twice this month.

(there have only been three fridays so far)

hollywoodassistants:

every time our agent calls i ask his assistant if i’m in trouble.

there’s definitely such thing as advancing too many shows at once.

is it mid-december yet?

and I get this in an email.

I was hoping to touch base directly with Coco’s production manager to make sure we have fulfilled all his requests. Could you please send me his contact info (name, cell, email) so I can reach out?’

because it’s absolutely unfathomable that her production manager would be a woman? her production manager is me. it’d take an extra .5 seconds for you to refer to someone as “their” instead of “his/him,”  but you choose to assume that it HAS to be a guy? screw you.

i hate how sexist this industry is.

favorite tweets from the last month or so. 

hollywoodassistants:

you guys, i love working in the music industry… because sometimes you realize that someone you’ve been working with for the past two months is someone you grew up listening to. 

what is my life? 

five shows in two days.

and i was out way too late last night.

i’m exhausted. 

but honestly, working kid’s shows is just so beautiful. something about the uncomplicated happiness they encompass when they’re submerged in the music and the show—- it’s so perfect to me. it makes everything worth it. and the parents we help are beyond thankful and gracious.

yesterday, i made contact with a long lost relative through one of the guys at the show. it was mind-blowing—- waking up to a text from her this morning was unreal. i’m a little overwhelmed and choked up at the idea of having some family on the west coast. maybe it’ll make me feel a little closer to home.

i miss home a lot right now. i could use a nap with my pups or a play date with my niece. 

the music industry is such a small knit family. i bumped in to two friends i’ve toured with who work at the venue we were at. and ran in to another friend last night at the show. it’s amazing to be a part of. 

i don’t take any of this for granted. i know i’m terribly far from home and that’s honestly probably the hardest thing right now. everything else that’s an issue is one that will work itself out with time. things are never going to be perfect. but i’ve worked so hard to get to where i am right now and for the first time, i can really see it. i can really see the path behind me and i’m paving the path ahead of me. it’s been a long journey, and there’s way more ahead. 

“keep your head up, your colors are beautiful. when they say ‘give up,’ turn up your radio.” 

this is my work family. 

i love them. 

anyone going to NYC for CMJ, please show up here to celebrate the launch of the RE:GENeration series with my work family. free drinks and food—- you can’t really go wrong. xoxo.

RE:GENERATION

Remember when I freaked out over working with The Doors? Well, there you go. This little baby has been in the works for some time now and I’m so excited to finally be able to show you what I’m talking about. Here’s a link to the Rolling Stone article that went up today about the project. 

Wooooo!

xx,
rox 

i can’t even wait. 

today, switchfoot’s vice verses came out. 

i don’t write about music releases too much (if at all), but this one deserves my attention. i’ve had this album for about five months now and the only thing i didn’t like about it was that it wasn’t out and i couldn’t share it with the world. 

well now it’s out. so hi, world. you need to listen to this album.

before anyone goes off on switchfoot being a christian band, take your foot and kindly shove it in your mouth. this record is far from a “christian record.” i personally think it’s a ballsy album for them. it’s one of the most beautiful albums i’ve heard in a long while. 

i’m going to post my favorite song from the album immediately following this post. and i’ll admit: i had my reservations about the band/album, but one of my coworkers pulled me aside, told me to close my eyes and listen to this song in its entirety, and i just fell in love with it.

enjoy. 

blurry, but i love it none-the-less. pre-show huddle last night with almost everyone.
