I ventured out into the world today, accordion in hand. A man joined me and started to beat-box. Accordion + beat-boxing = weird. After about half an our some other guy came along with cardboard and he started to break dance. I wanted to move along after an hour but by then there were three more guys who started to beat-box/rap/dance only rap and beat-boxing happened simultaneously. Almost two hours later the cops come and the guys scatter like a bomb just went off and I was left by myself.

A really scary twenty minute conversation with Manhattan's finest I convinced the officer I was just walking by and stopped to watch and that I wasn't playing with them. Because come on, what in the world is an accordion player doing with a bunch or rappers and beat-boxers. It was cool though.

In other news: GOGOL BORDELLO MARCH 9TH. It's a benefit concert for Haiti. I've seen these guys so many times. I have an entire wall dedicated to them. The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza, 9th March 2010. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. I'm waiting up all night to get my ticket.

Bored right now. My best friend is getting married. I'm going to be out of a partner in crime very soon. I made some coffee cake. I've started baking when I'm bored and that equals sugar highs. Still bored.

What is this crazy shit. I was at the bus stop today and a woman tried to set me up with her 13 year old son! I know I look young but really? Really? I'm 23 not 13. I told her I was a satanic lesbian and she stopped talking to me. I'm neither a Satanist nor a lesbian. I need to get out of this part of town. I thought it would be nice or even cool being surrounded by my people. Jew food is everywhere. I love getting up early to get some challah or when I'm sick I can get some real chicken soup none of this can business. 100% ego drop when a woman is trying to set me up with her son because he's now a man...according to the state he is still a child and I'd be a pedophile.

I need roommates. I'm starting to hate this shoe box. 6 months ago it was nice and now it's suffocating. I need need neeeeeed roommates but no one wants to live with a musician. No one wants to live with a musician who plays loud and "rowdy" music. FML.
