Blue Betty Rides Again

Image
My dear friends who are sweet enough to read this blog, I have just had one of the most amazing days of my life! If you were to just look at it on paper, it might seem rather ordinary, but it was/is pure magic. You know that feeling when you get your first apartment after college? Or that first job? I feel like this is the first time in my life that every single aspect of my life is my own, and absolutely new. It's just brilliant. Maybe because basic things are challenges here, but yesterday I got a phone (for $20 yeah!) and today I got a bike and an apartment!!!!! Whoooo Hoooo! Thank god my friend Tommy was with me for the bikes, because my Chinese is totally Bu Hao! He got a black bike and I got a powder blue bike with a sticker that says, "Betty". So, I took Blue Betty out on the town and rode for miles (i LOVE that Beijing is flat :) and it was truly amazing. I really felt like I was part of this town today, riding around either dodging cars like Frogger, or cycling

Black Coffee

So the sore throat was indeed tonsillitis! But, happily, my gig went great last night, and I am working for a hospital. some of my best friends in Beijing came to hear me sing last night, and it made it that much more special. I learned a new song called "Black Coffee" and man, does it throw down the blues. There just isn't anything like being onstage singin' that song with a trumpet, sax and stand-up bass behind you (and having on fabulous new shoes!!!). It was great. I rode Blue Betty to and from the club through the warm Spring night and it was just magical. Now I have to go take my antibiotics and get to bed. But this weekend is a train adventure to some new town...so, more soon!!!! xoxoxo

BLOG-O-RAMA!

Wow. Life has the coolest way of coming around! So, I did not get the job for the Olympics with the company I first interviewed (but I met Lidia there, so that's why that happened), which I decided was really o.k. I'm having a brilliant time here and am so happy. THEN a few weeks ago I get this email out of the blue from the woman who interviewed me at that other company. She has resigned and is now working for this NZ events company and could I come in for an interview. I just had a phone interview from Sydney this morning and I'M WORKING A HOSPITALITY SUITE AT A HOTEL DURING THE OLYMPICS!!!! whooo hooooooo! So, every two days I'll get an influx of mostly Australian corporate types who are coming to see the games. We'll have a huge screen tv in the suite and basically, I am party host for about 18 days. that's one long party! I'm so excited I could dance! I'll let you know more as I know more. For now I'm going to help with notes for tech week of &q
