mamma mia!

i just realized something... it's one thing to see a trailer, like what you see, go to see the movie and just like it. but it's an entirely different thing to see a trailer, like what you see and then be totally blown away by the movie itself. it's gorgeous when you just keep on smiling all thru the movie and not even realize it until the end of the movie when you just sit there and say to yourself: "gosh, now is this a wonderful year for movies or what??" and it really is. and it's not just because a new movie came out and i'm sort of trying to get people to see it because god knows the movie does not need my PR to make it! i just wanted to send this cosmic opinion out into the big wide world. i have no doubt that this movie will pick somebody else up like it picked me up so i came out of the theatre whistling mamma mia, dancing queen and of course the winner takes it all. that's what music does to me. that's what music does to probably most of us. not to mention the talents that are doing it. outstanding and unforgettable.

day 29: leaving NY

i must say it's been educational. mostly i'll remember the "i feel like a real newyorker" feeling going thru my mind every time i sat on the bus or took a ride on the subway. and what's my "the best of list"? best movie: dark knight. best evening: seeing "mamma mia" with my friend james. best club: plan b. best meal: dim sum at ruby foo's. best buy: ray-ban glasses at sunglass hut. best drink: strawberry daiquiri at chelsea dinner. best event: sheryl crow concert at rockefeller plaza. happiest moment: having my final project screening at the theatre of the new york film academy.

day 26: Sheryl Crow VIDEO

and there you go...a little bit of practice just to get you started...read about it in my previous post. excuse the resolution and bear with me.

day 26: Sheryl Crow

6:30am. i'm standing at the rockefeller plaza in the vip box waiting for sheryl crow to come up on the stage. i bet you're wondering how i got here? well, it just so happens that since i'm a student at the NYFA doing broadcast journalism in affiliation with NBC, they got me and my classmates in!! is that beautiful or what?? i know the hour is a little early but what the hell. sheryl just gave an interview for NBC television saying that she had to get up at 2:30am or something to get ready so i'll stop my whining now. there. i stopped. happy now? ok.

7:30 now. the practice songs. i just love that sheryl is wearing her ray-ban glasses while performnig. gotta take a few pictures. i got a pair too. i think they are just the most beautiful pair of glasses one can afford to own. and that's a cold straight fact. actually i got two pair of those just in case i sit on one or something. you never know. it's better to have a backup. where was i? oh, yes. 8:30. now the concert! the crowd is pretty big now, the sun has come out completely, so the light is simply beautiful. now she sings again. that's amazing. i've never been to her concert before so this is a really nice treat for all of us. thanks NBC!

and for all of you that haven't seen this conceret that was actually broadcasted live on NBC's today show a picture of sheryl crow while performing "soak up the sun".
