This week is fucking insane

Yes it is blip festival 2009 this week. And TWO of my close friends are having CD releases!
I sadly missed Misty Boyce @ Mercury Lounge this past Friday, AND Brook Pridemore @ the Sidewalk on Saturday. I'm sure there was PLENTY more that I missed.

I'm trying to think through this week & kind of promote my friends at the same time.
Here is what I am going to at this point. If you happen to read this, and I'm missing something, let me know.

MONDAY (12.14.09)
Ivan and the Terribles CD Release @ The Studio at Webster Hall. Also I believe Lowry is playing right after them. Suite.

TUESDAY (12.15.09)
Bar 4 for open mic/promotion of Blip Fest 2009/Public Assembly Show on the 20th.
All are welcome. Bring fliers/buttons/CDs if you want to promote!
**Id be happy to distribute fliers, just get them to me by tomorrow**
Sign up is @ 6:30 if you want to play.
**This is where I am pretty much every Tuesday. Its a party & an open Mic. Although its mostly singer/song writer stuff, it could be nice practice for Weds Pre-Blip open Mic**

WEDNESDAY (12.16.09)
The night before BLIP! Pre Blip Open Mic/Meet & Greet @ The Tank. I had an amazing time at this thing last year. My band 8BK-OK had our first performance, which lead to 2 DataPop shows, Pulsewave, etc. Just COME.

Also that night @ Bar 4: Local Correspondents Showcase! Lara Ewen! Heidi Sidelinker! (Paul Basile has really really good taste)

something from 12.3.09

I wrote this a few days ago
______________________________
Is there nothing as Sublime
as the stubble from behind
The marble of this morning?

You turn your head and slightly say
a wit I cannot hear
Over the chorus of your lips, your teeth, your keepsake boyish smile.
I can't breathe in, I'd savor scents that linger on your jaw
I can't exhale, I'd only sigh and give myself away.

Luminous behind a shadow shy, and capillaries flushed,
Twisting your face at accolades into a shrugging hush.
You won't be charmed by spurious looks from these specious eyes,
Which can never match your ragged maps (too erudite to lie).

______________________________
(i don't know what comes next here, so i guess this one isn't done yet)

PICKUP


Pickup/the first glance

(by: leah goldstein 12.1.09)


A rake am I, with wandering eye

And emerald glinting glare

Who teeters on the glassy edge

Of your discerning stare

Fixed forward, equine blinders on

(Or so I’ve set the scene)

The oppressed inherently posses

Gifts of Periphery

The sweeter one, who rests inside

Succumbs to the coarse tongued dealing

She floats upon her memories

And watches from the ceiling

The sickly smiling remains

Conjure their harbinger

Hold differently shaped glasses

Delicately in their fingers

A whisper breeze behind the ear

The flutter-combs beat gently

To remind the time was near

For trapping urban Gentry

My gaze was still for one, two, three

A pupil’s shutter captured

The filtered light and negatives

One is buried here, enraptured.
