And... A Post!

Sherrie is right. We are all leading very different lives than we did when we all lived together. I wish we would write more often too. I guess I'll start and hopefully everyone else will write too!

Lately, I've been venturing into a new and slightly exhausting world... party/concert planning and organizing. We successfully pulled off a charity concert this weekend that raised about $2,000 dollars for an unwed mother association. It definitely was not without its bumps along the way, though -- including sending someone 45 minutes back to my apartment to pick up the raffle prizes that got left behind AND running around in 30 degree weather without a coat in 4-inch heels trying to find an internet cafe so I could print off the after party guest list -- but we were all happy with the end product and now know what we need to work on and improve for the next concert in the series over the summer.

Also, a friend of mine who is a hip-hop artist over here and performed at the event said his boss at the label was very impressed with the show and wants to contact me about potentially doing some projects with them, which is awesome and at the same time terrifying. I definitely need to start studying Korean again and widen my personal network...

I'm working at a newspaper now as my main job on the culture and sports desk, but a few of the story ideas I've had have fallen to the wayside for the last month while I worked on the concert in my spare time. I'm hoping to get them started up soon, before my desk editor forgets. One is interviewing a celebrity that owns a booking bar in my neighborhood. The other is discrimination against foreigners in Seoul at some of the clubs. (AKA no foreigners allowed in...)

And that's about it for now, I suppose. There is a lot more going on, but I'm so tired that I seem to have forgotten what...
