Coffee

Goodmorning all,
Happy Friday!

It seems that somehow I have over slept for my 8:30 class. When I first woke and saw the clock I went into a little bit of freak-out mode, but then I took a step back, and realized that there was nothing that actually could be done with the situation, I might as well just enjoy the fact that I got to sleep in right?
Anyway, so now I am sitting here enjoying my coffee, checking out my twitter, reading some blogs, trying to get into a bloging routine.

Last night in my viral marketing class I spoke with my professor about my senior project. My original idea was to hold an event to promote local up and coming artists. The event will showcase an estimated 6 artists and their sculptures, paintings, woodcuts, collage, and anyother medium they wish to present. For the second focus of the event, there are to be about 4-5 musical performances from very talented unexposed groups. Ideally I would like to have the art work be shown at the gallery for about three weeks also with video footage of the music performances shown.
The main focus of this event would be, not only exposing new artist but a fund raising event for the homeless. All proceeds and donations will be given to The Coalition for the Homeless in NYC. Because a lot of the artists inspiration is from urban, inner city street culture, and some may have even been put in the same situation, it is important to both myself and the artists that we use our talents to give back to this continuing dilemma.

Because of our economical crisis that is currently going on today, my professor strongly suggests that I should not take this route for my senior project. She suggested that I go digital and perhaps have an online auction in order to raise money. I am strongly discouraged but this, I really want to host an event and am willing to deal with and overcome the hurtles I will enevitably face as the event planner. I am going to meet with her again to see what ideas we can brew up. She is a very wise, experienced woman who knows her shit when it comes to marketing, fundraising, and getting things done, so greatly respect her and I am lucky to have her over see my work, yet as @SeanDonahoe. has recelty told me...Never lose sight of a dream.

So that where I am at with that, if anyone has any suggestions or tips, I am all ears, just comment me or twitter me. I'd love to hear from you and would greatly appreciate it.

For now, I am going to drink another cup of coffee :) and go mr. clean on my crib! this apartment is deffinitly living up to its name... the PIGPEN!

Stay up.
