Busy, Busy, Busy
Well, so far in NYC I've been alternately very busy, and then just sitting at home emailing off my resume..
But the good news is that the emailing has resulted in an internship which starts next week. It's with a very well known doco company, which is a really good thing, and it's 2 days a week. The bad news is that it is an internship, so it doesn't pay, but I'm really hoping the contacts and experience will be very beneficial.
The other news is that I'm moving out of my bro's place into a very small room with two great girls and two cats, three subway stops north of my bro's place.
I'm looking forward to it, but paying rent without a job isn't going to be the easiest thing to do, so things will need to speed up asap!
Other than that I've:
(a) had the best meal so far in NYC at Henry's - Grilled Seafood Salad
(b) seen the Cosmic Collisions show at the Planetarium
(c) done a walking tour of Harlem focussing on the Harlem Renaissance
(d) seen Cat Empire at the Speigeltent
(e) hung out with my friend Kirrilly who was in town to make a documentary about Elise who's here to work at the UN as the Australian Youth Representative, and been shown around the Un by Elise
(f) worked on shoot with my bro
(g) taken advantage of the Mon-Wed $21 manicure and pedicure special
(h) walked around Brooklyn with a friend, concentrating on different neightbourhoods and possible rental options
(i) walked over my favourite bridge - The Brooklyn Bridge
(j) gone to Burning Man happy hour
(k) seen The Departed - a US remake of Infernal Affairs - loved the original - the remake is also really good
(l) seen the Dr. Eddie Henderson Quartet (he usually plays with Herbie Hancock) at Smoke - a jazz bar near here
(m) looked at some apartments to rent - including 2 nice ones and one incredibly dodgy one...
(n) picked up boxes from the airport
(o) attended a really interesting talk at Columbia by Bill Fletcher Jnr
(p) seen the Hopper exhibition at the Whitney
(q) been on the Surveillance Camera Players Tour of the Upper East Side
(r) wandered through the rapidly gentrifying artists' spaces and warehouses of DUMBO for the Art Under the Bridge Festival, as well as pretending (with a friend) to be a couple interested in buying an apartment in the multi-million dollar apartment development, and being treated to free stuff as well as a personal explanation and demo of what "our" apartment would be like
So check out the photos, and drop me a line...
