can YOU feel the rhythm?
So my best friend alex from brooklyn and her boyfriend ricky just left yesterday. they live in park slope, brooklyn. every year for the past 5 or 6 years, alex has been hosting the world’s best july 4th bbq. this was the first time i’ve missed it since it’s inception. boo. but i did end up making it back to the city for a show at rockwood at the end of july…it’s just not the same without bottle rockets, beverages, and various meats. it was so nice to share my little relaxing square of southern cali with some of my favorite people.
i’ve been rather busy lately. i ended up going out with enrique iglesias again for a couple more dates. we did the isle of mtv in malta with onerepublic, the kooks, lady gaga, and n.e.r.d. i even had my own little trailer! you can guess that was one sweet backstage party. too bad my luggage had been lost and i had to go an hour before the show to get an outfit, makeup, underwear (very important when traveling), socks, whatever i could grab as i ran by basically…it was a wee bit stressful. but that night was one of the most amazing nights of my life. the crowd was about 50,000 deep, there was a huge, old, beautiful church at the back of the plaza, all lit up, and at one point towards the end of our set, fireworks started going off. damn. i got a little misty up there on stage. good times.
then we headed off to vienna, austria to perform during the closing ceremony of the eurocup final game. enrique’s song ‘can you hear me?’ was the offical song of the eurocup this year. the game including the performance was broadcast on abc all over the world. you may have caught of glimpse of me working my hot dance moves behind the pyrotechnic flame throwers. yeah. what.
now i’m back in LA, doing my thing on sundays at cafe muse at 7pm. it’s free, byob, they have delicious vegetarian food, and a beautiful upright piano. they even tune it. it’s nice. also, be on the lookout for my BRAND NEW SHINY PRETTY WEBSITE. i’m a little excited. it’ll be coming very soon.
i hope you have a lovely day!
