Just Call Me a Party Girl

Hey guys!!!

The past couple of days for me have been a whirlwind of just random fun things which I guess I'll tell you about now.

On Wednesday, I went to my first real concert. You know, one that didn't involve classical piano music or anything like that. My friend Elena took me and a couple of other people for her birthday to go and see a local concert for the Jonas Brothers and Huckapoo. None of us had ever heard of the Jonas Brothers before, but it was still really fun. The music was actually pretty good. A tad high school-ish, but still kinda fun. And (as an added bonus) I got to meet them afterwards!!! We waited on a meet and greet line for 45 minutes, but it was worth it. I got their autographs and took pictures and stuff like that. Two of the three of them even hugged me!

Moving on, yesterday morning I went to see STEP UP, that new dance movie. It was REALLY good. I would reccomend it highly to anyone interested in seeing it. It was a little sadder than I expected, but they have this awesome dance number right after the sad part, so that kind of perks you up.

And that night, I went to see my cousin's dance show in Manhattan. For those of you who don't know, my cousin did this 7 week Alvin Ailey dance program in the city. The show was awesome!!! All of the dancers were so great. I was getting tired just watching them. Afterward we went out to dinner with them at this Italian restaurant on 54th street. It was really quite entertaining because there were all of these parties and stuff going on so there were all of these people with tamborines singing and dancing on chairs. (I did the asparagus dance, but not on a chair.) You couldn't hear yourself think, but the food was good.

And last night I made the midnight ferry and wound up not going to bed until 2am so I'm really tired. And I look like a raccoon because I didn't do a really good job of taking off my mascara. But otherwise I've had a fun week. Hope the same for all of you.
