Weeks to come!

Hey guys!

So I’ve been a busy busy lady and I would love to give you a taste of all the fun things I have coming up! I work really hard at my job and in my personal time and, though I try to relax as much as possible in those private times away from work, I have so much happening in the next few weeks! I’ve really taken my goal setting  and really run with it! You’ll notice that I have a LOT of DJ’ing gigs this month. YAY! I also have tickets to some really great shows coming up as well as some really great events that I’m working/attending for my work. If you don’t know already I work for Amoeba Music. The BEST record store in the country as far as I am concerned! So I just want to give you a little taste of what I do and where I do it! Check it out!

So much fun stuff happening! And this list doesn’t include antique shopping with my sweetie or dinners with friends and such. It’s such a reminder that my life is full of wonderful times and that I should take moments like these to really evaluate and appreciate the life I have made for myself, the people I’ve chosen to be a part of it and the work I’ve taken on. Because when it comes down to it, it’s all very very beautiful.

Motley DJ?

So I’ll be spinning records for Amoeba Music‘s Dusty Fingers DJ Night at The Uptown Nightclub in Oakland tonight! My pals Anna Marie and Erick Pressman will also be playing some tunes and we’ll be sticking to a loose theme of Twee, Indie, 60′s Pop and Pop Punk! It’s going to be a fun night!

DJ’ing was one of my bonus goals from my 4 Simple Goals post so I’m very excited about it! I absolutely love being able to share music with people! I love the idea of playing music and watching the room light up! It’s going to be fun so come out and enjoy it! I’ll be posting my set list tomorrow so if you can’t make it tonight then definitely check out what I play – you might just find something you like!
