Daily musings of a gal living in New York City.

Sketchartists.com creator and aquaintance-friend (we've yet to actually hang out and get pedicures...I've offered as there is nothing like tiny asian hands scrubbing your soles...which reminds me) Anya Garrett has made not only the Apiary but now has made Gothamist

Congrats!

A year and a half ago, I set out to be her (in a way, not so much what she does but how she does it) I have miles and miles to catch up to her and she's only two years older than I am.

A year and a half later, I more want to be Miranda July, and that's going pretty well now, except that I refuse to live in LA. But what can you expect from an artist from Portland? I guess New York will be my LA.

Note to self: when you get computer from Rochester, begin editing Open Mic Tour and really start working in on this book.

Note to Anya, if you're reading this, which no one really does: When do you want that pedicure?

Note about the photo, I'm the weird looking girl in the pink jacket, she's the other girl in the green plaid. And there's that guy...who hates me.

Gawker is hiring

I applied for a job at gawker.

I don't know.

It's worth a shot.

Don't you think?

animation animation animation

As some of you may know I did a piece for Scott Bateman a little under a year ago.

I responded to an ad on craigslist in regards to a guy wanting to do animations for comedians, poets and podcasters, as an a comedic prose performer...not so much...I responded saying that I did Scott's stuff. He checked up my bit and sort of responded to what I did, which I take it as a positive as he said he'd like to read/hear some of my stuff.

I now may be do some pieces for Mike Force if all works out.

More exposure...I like that.

Living in Inwood

I moved to New York, last week, to be a better writer. I felt a lot of my opportunities were running out in Rochester and it would be more cost affective to move here instead of coming down here every four months and blowing three hundred dollars for a four day stay.

Ideas so far:
Documentary on subway performers.
Documentary on girl group "Northern State"

Interviews so far:
March edition of "Verbicide Magazine" distributed in NY and LA. Written by Alan Lastufka of zikiwiki.com and Fall of Autumn Press regarding Zine Filmmakers.

Projects so far:
Book of Kaet as told by Potter Freeman
Twelve Months of Kaet: A polaroid project
-Thursday 2/1/07's photo: Me kissing David Wain, with his girlfriend laughing in the background.

Openings in the Future:
Big Art Show in Brooklyn in April. World Premiere of the first three months of the "Twelve Months of Kaet" and other pieces, and two editions of my zine, "Year of the Kaet: Confessions of A Bohemian Sellout" and "Year of the Kaet: I'm not a comedian, damn it!"

Performances in the Future:
Once I dust off my performance prose, I'll probably be touring the open mics again downtown. And I'll try to memorize my material this time.

That's all for now.
