THE EMERSON EXPERIENCE

Thank you all for your support during this long process! And be ready for some more loving as Emerson has just hired MMM to do another spot for the School of Communications. Boston, here we come (again)!

Beads. Flowers. Freedom. Happiness.

I've been having some serious nostalgia this past week. My first semester in college, I was fortunate enough to be part of the cast of musical HAIR. It was possibly my favorite theater experience, not just because of the show itself, but because of the bond, the friendships, the feeling I had when we all sang together with this unified voice. To this day, more than 3 years later, I'll still hear from my tribemates asking how I am, a "yip" here and there or just some simple words of encouragement.

This show was so important for me because it was the beginning of my time at Emerson and provided this huge support system in a new environment. Rehearsals weren't just singing and staging, it was communion with a group of people who embraced each other. There's this love that just doesn't die. HAIR is that sort of show. The issues are timeless, the message is timeless, the spirit is timeless. OK, I'm getting a little too deep. I guess I'm just sending out a little YIP YIP into the universe and hope my Tipaku Tribe hears it.

Sidenote: Two of my tribemates (Maya Sharpe and Briana Carlson-Goodman) are in Broadway Cast that is now showing. Check out the website HERE!

We starve - look

At one another

Short of breath

Walking proudly in out winter coats

Wearing smells from laboratories

Facing a dying nation

Of moving paper fantasy

Listening to the new told lies

With supreme visions of lonely tunes

...Let the sunshine in!

Uprooted

I was born and raised in the East. East Coast that is. Outside Philly in a little town called King of Prussia. There's a mall - sometimes you'll see the name in tandem with Paris - Milan - London in fashion spreads. Stop laughing. You think I'm kidding?

I just graduated from Emerson College and have spent the last few months doing what millions of tired, overeager, in-debt 20-somethings do: move to Los Angeles to pursue my dreams. What dream is that? I think financial stability would be the first thing in mind. Still, a career in the entertainment industry doesn't exactly put me in the vicinity of money anytime soon.


Long story short: I've been uprooted again. Thinking all the grey (gray?), hazy questions in my life would vanish with the clouds as I traveled above the earth was a big mistake. Things are just as confusing and difficult as they were in high school, college and now, in what the masses commonly refer to as "real life."

So now: Finished my last class a week ago. Working for a music video and commerical production company (how'd that happen?) and living with one of my best friends from college - who subsequently came out here on a whim to work as well. Couldn't have done it without her.


I miss the East Coast now and again. Why won't it rain here?
