If only I wasn’t a music blogger who is stuck in college in upstate, NY during CMJ. It wouldn’t bother me so much if I wasn’t getting hundreds of emails rubbing the fact that I can’t go to CMJ in my face. Every other email is “LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO SEE _____, AND I’LL PUT YOU ON THE LIST!”
If you don’t know what CMJ is, its basically a big festival where new and upcoming bands are showcased for 4 days with big parties and music all day. Pretty sweet eh?
It’s a really cool thing that I am getting invited to see bands, showcases, and all other kinds of parties! However, it is not cool that I am stuck up here.
It bothers me that I have the chance to attend all the cool CMJ stuff, but no dice. Stuck in upstate NY, doing the college thing.
That’s not depressing at all….

Just go. I know you probably don’t want to miss school, but it still doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go to CMJ. At least a day or two. That’s just me though.

Hey there, just thought I’d say “Hey”, been checking your blog out for awhile and think its really cool. I’m also in the same camp as you, just couldn’t make it out to NY this year, would have ‘loved’ it too! Check out our blog sometime?
Cheers, Indy
