i’m going to meet barack obama in dc!

Ok, maybe not — I’m not that good. Although, I’ll be going to Washington DC to witness Barack Obama’s Presidential Inauguration, and experience some history in person. There’s a lot of reasons why I could have just enjoyed it here in Seattle, but I always said to myself if Obama won the election — I would head to DC no matter what. Do I have any tickets for the festivities? Nope. I may get lucky though.

Now, I’ve bought my plane ticket to Washington DC, and luckily I’ll be bumming off my buddy VaLiesha at Howard University — so it’s going to be exciting. Also, hopefully I’ll be connecting with my long lost buddy from Disney, Steph. I’ll be there from 1/17-1/21, so I’m hoping to experience DC before all the hoopla is there and catch the sites and scenery. A lot of drawing and photos will be had there, as well as other things.

introducing julian velard!

Just came across Julian Velard. I don’t know what it is, but listening to this type of music makes me want to move to New York City. I’d like to just soak up that music scene there each night. There’s something about a piano (not a keyboard) that strikes a chord with me (no pun intended).
