The Thick Spot: Soldier 4 the arts!

Good weekend to all of my followers! At the present moment I am in Baltimore but soon will be back in Jersey City! If you guys don't know by now I'm an artsit! A soldier for the arts! My primary thing is singing, but i major in musical theatre and would feel comfortable enough to call myself a actor, writer, and dancer! One thing I love about Jersey city is their constant support for the creative and performing arts! Downtown Jersey City is made up of artist! Its kinda like the place if your Not an artist you can get the fuck out!!! When I am not at Jersey City University honing my skills and coming as close to perfection as possible with my craft I am downtown Jersey City watching other fellow artist pour their hearts out to whatever their creative medium may be or I'm there doing it myself! Over the last 2 years of moving to Jersey City from South Jersey I have encountered many other fellow musicians one of which is Wymeing and his band AUDIO BODIES! More of a alternative rock sound, with deep rythmic grooves! He was busy this past weekend hosting a going away party for him and his band for their upcoming gig playing at the HEMP FEST in Seattle. They are going to drive across country promoting their music all along the way! It was a invitation only party and the venue was only announced after you RSVP'd! So I went with my good friend Jessica and her best friend Jessica and her boyfriend Orien to check it out! (Not to Mention Whymeing asked me many times if i was really going to come) We drove down a street that just ended by a bunch of warehouses, but we saw Wymeing right outside ready to greet us! He escorted us up into by far the most amazing artist loft I have seen yet while living up here! Omg! Just a beautiful open space with Graffiti all over the walls, graffiti pics of him, Old Dirty Bastard and other cool trippy stuff! A bar and we discovered it was more than one floor and then we got to go upstairs onto the roof and got a great view of Jersey City and NYC!!!!

I love living up here! When u see views like that you get the feeling you can reach out and touch those high sky scrappers and just achieve anything! Like the world is in your grasp! I am truly in love with Jersey City! Its minutes away from NYC, so many ways to get there cheaply and it still has its own vibes and happenings without the crowded jaded NYC experience! I just love all the artist i meet here and the eclectic groups of people! I am blessed for the experience of spending some creative years of my life here and I will always be a soldier for the arts! Support the arts people, in every way possible...open mics, galleries, plays, theatre, concerts, street art! Please keep allowing people a voice and venues to get things off their chest!
