As I am halfway to completely moving to New York, I thought I’d reach out to you all to see what I should do here (especially as I love crowdsourcing so much). As in, if you were here, what would you go eat or see or do. I originally thought I’d do the top 100 things to do in Timeout but it’s all done by season or type of thing to do. I want a real mix.
So this is my to-do list thanks to you. I’ve put the person’s name beside the item they suggested and I’ll add a link when I write about my adventure there. I’m also blogging 50 walks of New York so make sure to keep an eye on that as well.
Anything I’m missing? Leave a comment and I’ll add it to the list. Read more…
Tonight I had the pleasure of performing at the Waltham Forest Literary Festival. I opened with my teenage boy poem (or as it referred to, my Beastie Boy poem).

I also had badges of his in the costume he wore when dueting with Paul McCartney. Read more…
When I was in high school, you had a choice to take it in 3 years or 4. Mostly the 4 year route was for those who weren’t doing well in school but I did it so I could do MORE classes. I’m a sucker for punishment. But it meant I got to be in the better band, choir and do a full IB diploma. Read more…
This musical memory isn’t really for all music by Garbage but rather one particular song “I’m only happy when it rains.” For some reason, the summer after my first year at Uni, we listened to that song on repeat and it became our anthem. Read more…
