CMJ Music Marathon 2010

Oh, NYC.  This was my first trip on my own (high school senior class trips don’t count, k?).  I’m a little bit in love with it, not gonna lie.

And CMJ?  Totally. Redonk.  

I was at the Living Room for most of the night, and it was pretty packed for most of the sets, so getting a good shooting spot was difficult.  Unfortunately, I missed photo ops for several of the bands.

But I got to the front in time to see Anni Rossi, my boys (and Emma) in McAlister Drive, and Shayna Zaid and the Catch.  All of them were beyond fabulous, and you should check them out.  

Anyway, on to photos:

Quick Update – CMJ Festival, NYC

Hey, kids!  Just a quick post from the highly aromatic MegaBus I’m on – I’m en route to NYC to spend about 18 hours in Manhattan and about 7 of those 18 hours shooting for the CMJ Festival.  Lucky opportunist girl knows how to make connections, and the booking agent for one of my bands managed to snag me a photo pass at the last second.  BOOYAH.  Look who’s rocking out now.

Anyway, if you’re in Manhattan, stop by the Living Room to see some awesome bands tonight!  It’s only an $8 cover if you don’t already have your CMJ pass – show starts at 7!

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that the character of Josie Hogan is played by Ramona Alexander (How Do You Spell Hope?, Harriet Jacobs) – a fabulously talented woman of color.  EdgeBoston.com comments on the choice of Alexander in this play.
