What's going on...

Hello

So, I am downstairs at the Crown Plaza.. On a random computer.. no, not in my room..

I would prefer to be in my room but, there are two people who are currently not agreeing that are both good people, just not meant for each other..

Ladies and Gentlemen, is there is anything for you to know.. let it be this.

Unless they are your wifey, hubby, super awesome person that you have been with for a very very long time.. please, DO NOT BRING THEM ON THE ROAD.

It WILL be problematic.. oh, and hey, that OTHER PERSON WHO IS TRAVELLING WITH YOU HAS TO DEAL WITH IT TOO.. Not, that I don't juggle and handle many things at once.. hell, it's something I pride myself on but, THIS..? No thank you..

All this does is makes me appreciate the awesomeness that I have in my personal life.. DAMN I HAVE IT GOOD.. Real good.. Super good.. MEGA AWESOME GOOD.. and I work hard at that as well.. but, it always falls into place because it's where I want to be... (oh yeah... )

So,. this tour has been something else.. always an adventure.. the bands have overall been GOLDEN.. some crybabies here and there but, I'll just bring tissues for them next time.. the nice ones.. with the aloe on 'em.. I don't want your noses to be all red and peeling..

I DID manage to get AMAZING footage of someone's very drunk mother who was re-living her days in the 80's (the fo-real 80's.. not the lame shit) and she was working IT onstage.. doing the dance she loved doing so very much many moons ago.. on a young man no less.. but, a young man from 2011.. Not 1982

Well, she did her dance and then RIGHT ON TIME fell off the stage.. and yes, I got it all on video.. I will tell you this.. This camcorder has to be one the BEST purchases I have EVER made.. besides my Pro Tools and of course my '86 Firebird.. HA!

Also got amazing footage of this one EXTREMELY talented dude playing the guitar solo to "Superstition" with his TEETH on Beale Street.. (by the way, I am in Memphis, TN) oh yeah it happened and your lovely eyeballs will be seeing it soon.. I luckily ran into him later and was able to get his contact information.. what a great soul this dude has.. and just to think.. this dude has more talent in HIS TEETH than some famous shitty emo band.. Man, the world ain't fair now is it?

Got some other great footage that you will just have to wait and see..

I am really digging making/taking video(s).. The one I did for a good friend for her Bday was met with an amazing response.. who knows? I might just have found another nitch for myself..

My life can be so crazy at times (clearly) that it would be nice to share that with all of you.. So you can have some "JennCity Vision." See what I see.. through my eyes.. I like it.. I really do...

Well, in less than 72 hours, I will be back in my beautiful concrete jungle of Brooklyn.. fuck man.. I wouldn't trade my amazing life, love, home, family, friends, bands, projects, kitties (Lolita & Valentino, Mama J is coming home soon..) for ANYTHING.. especially being out here and seeing so much emptiness and witnessing so much heartbreak.. DAMN, I worked hard to get to this point and guess what...? I am going to KEEP working DAMN HARD and I will NOT take for granted all the blessings and beauty around me..

Alright.. this duder over to my right is about to barf into his potato chips in the lobby so, that's my cue..

All love.. and if you don't see Sunshine in your life.. guess what.. MAKE SOME FUCKING SUNSHINE

Your girl,

JennCity-

Moving..

Fun night in Mentor, Ohio.. where the hell is that.. Not many people know but, everyone at Livewire there tonight had a kick ass time.. What a pleasure to be able to make that happen.. good times..

Finished up earlier today a BDay video for one of my good friends.. It's pretty funny/Epic.. hope she is still my friend after the video.. HAHA..

Hangin' with some good friends before I am back out on this KICK ASS adventure.. what a fun trip this has been.. I really think this is clicking.. building, building, building,... it's the name of the game people..

Time to disconnect.. see you in a mere few hours.. "rumor has it"...

Ta-Ta-Ta-Tour and other musings..

Oh.. my beautiful blog.. How I have missed you..

So, I am out here hustling oops, I mean HOSTING the Exposed Music Festival Tour.. Third day and I can honestly say, I AM HAVING A BLAST!!!

The bands have been rockin'.. the clubs have been sweet and personally, it's always a pleasure to catch up with old friends (you know who you are and I love the hell outta you all) and of course make new ones..

I brought myself a fancy new lil camcorder so, I am excited to be posting up footage (as well as blogging) about my adventures.. so, I hope that you are ready for JENNCITY TV.. Many thanks to the duder at Best Buy in Buffalo, NY who hooked a sista UP!

Other than that, there's been a lot going on musically in my world.. I will let you know VERY SOON exactly what's going on.. I can say this though.

1. You'll be seeing me on NBC playing bass.
2. You will be hearing some new JENNCITY jams.
3. You will be able to catch me this summer with Demilitia as well as more dates with Exposed Music Festival.
4.  You can catch me in Coney Island once the weather decides it's really spring and/or summer. I will happily take either.

Many more details to come..

I have to say, I completely SNAPPED about a week ago.. I was in a dark place because of what was happening around me.. and you want to know what I did? I CHANGED what was around me and BAM.. I feel like a new woman and it re-awakened my daily positive attitude..

You do need the dark to have your light but, always remember.. there IS and WILL BE light at some point.. you just gotta believe.. Faith is a very powerful thing when it's coming from a good place.

All the best and do something nice for yourself today.. you deserve it.

BOOYAH!

History.


So, whether Osama died years ago or if he died on May 1st. Let this bring CLOSURE to those who lost loved ones on 9-11. As a New Yorker and someone who was living in Washington, D.C. at the time, I know how heavy that day was. Let this bring peace to those heavy hearts.

Now, we await the next chapter.
