We haven't performed together in San Francisco since the SFfetishBall 2 years ago (club enslaved).
(that was with misscon & ivy_red)
We HAVE performed together in Denever, Toronto, Berlin, & London. HAH.
All of those shows were pretty kick ass.
Let's see if we can do something nice for SF...

june. summer vacation. work & school. PAT.

june usually respresents the end of the school year
just a couple of weeks and then freedom for the summer
i guess it's not necessarily that way all the time,
especially if you have to take summer sessions

last year on this date i was in Zurich with emilymarilyn
i was in the middle of my big euro tour of summer 2004.

i've been technically free from school since December.
it's nice to be able to travel without having to transport heavy books around
but then the lack of purpose does hit me once in a while

i have been getting booked for events and shoots and while i'd like to start to begin my career change,
i feel as though waiting isn't necessarily a bad thing as the opportunities i'm receiving now wont be around later.
i might as well continue while the going is good. though i do feel lucky in the sense that i have been able to do this type of work for so many years. ok. some luck mixed with good business sense and skill.

but then once in a while people ask and i dont know what to say.
i'm having fun with my job and i will have to stop sooner or later.
later sounds good to me, but how much later i wonder?

anyways, i got this in the mail the other day
i only opened it today

thought it was a bill.
HAH
