Does this mean I'm crazy?

THE YOUNG CHOREOGRAPHER'S PERFORMANCE IS COMING UP REAL REAL SOON!!!! COME TO IT!!! IT'S FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The show starts at 5 and is at Velocity Dance Center (located at 1621 12th Ave, Seattle WA). Tickets are free, and you don't even need to reserve them. Just be there at 4:45 when doors open, and have fun seeing four different young choreographer's pieces that we've been working on very hard for awhile now! (I'm in Anna McKee's piece.)

Here's a letter that Claire Connell wrote for anyone interested in coming:


Hello Friends and Family,

You are INVITED to STG’s 4th annual Young Choreographers Lab—Project Showing!
May 5, 2012, 5-6 pm
Velocity Dance Center (1621 12th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98122)
FREE (donations welcome)

STG presents works choreographed by four aspiring teen choreographers from STG’s Young Choreographers Lab. Young Choreographer’s Lab is for teens interested in pursuing their artistic vision as choreographers as well as dancers. In the fall, participants met once a week, for eight weeks, for choreography master classes. Starting in January, four choreographers were selected to create a larger work on local teens with the mentorship from leading Seattle choreographers, Amy O’Neal, KT Niehoff, Tonya Lockyer, and Mark Haim. The showing will be followed by question/answer with the young artists. RSVP requested; please email 
jessicaj@stgpresents.org.

Choreographers:
Kyle Easterly
Heather Kaufman
Anna McKee
Jasmmine Ramgotra

Hope to see you all there!

Claire.


Also it looks like I'm going to be in another performance called the Unrehearsed Ensemble. It's going to be presented at On The Boards on June 17 from 4-10pm. (Yeah, long show.) It's an improvisation festival type thing, and will probably be very very fun and wild and (dare I say) craaaazzzaaayyyy. Heh..
You can find more information on it here.


So this has been something I've been wanting to do for awhile, and I've been constantly drawing to try to get a specific style down, but the other day I realized I just needed to go for it, and then while I'm doing them my style might emerge. So here it is, my first ever webcomic- hopefully there'll be more to come. As always, criticism is appreciated.


In other news, I now have two part time jobs! I think most people that are reading this blog have known that for awhile now, but I haven't posted since then and so I figured it'd be important to put on here. I'm a hostess at West 5 Lounge, and a waterer at West Seattle Nursery. The jobs are very different from one another (except for the fact that they both involve a lot of standing, so I end up standing from 9am-11pm on Saturdays,) but it's nice. I get peace and quite contemplation at the nursery, and social interaction at West 5, and it's a good balance in my opinion.

Other stuffs. Here's a picture! Of a flower! Hooray!

Hah, also I just joined Instagram. Probably addicted now. Oh wells. For those of you who may not know what it is, it's a photo-sharing app on apple devices (and droid too, actually, as of now i think?) where you can make your pictures look really cool and pretty and nice. For example.
