So, where to begin???
Who knew that Wheat Thins boxes had prizes in them?
The drive out was a great time for Ben and I, we ate cheese and hummus sandwiches on wheat for every meal and saw the morning come and watched the stars until we couldn’t see straight so we would pull over. We were able to spend the night at Ben’s sister’s house in Rapid City the first night and the second at a friend of Ben’s in Salt Lake City. We arrived on the third night to a warm welcome of McNally Smith Alumni and staff at a restaurant on the Sunset Strip, much thanks to Debbie and Charley. 
I like my internship a lot here at A&R Worldwide, they work me hard but I have learned so much and had so much invaluable experience in such a short time. The Music Business is all about delivery, execution, validation, follow up and communication, in order to be successful in the new era of the ever-changing music industry. What I am learning here are little things so applicable to everyday issues of life.
Also, I have learned what not to be like by looking at LA drivers driving like they are invincible; the trendy LA drivers are quite different than the modest mid-west mini-van driving mothers of Minnesota.
A good friend of mine told me, “that for every downside to LA there are twice as many good things.” I have totally seen this to be true. Every time this city feels like too much I go to the beach and see the sun reflecting down on everyone and know that we are all in the same boat and you just got to ride the waves until you can’t ride them anymore.
I visited Minneapolis last weekend to see a play my brother was part of, it was great to see my family and friends again. It was 20 below zero in Minnesota, which is a 100 degree difference to the weather in LA last weekend; it was great to get back to Cali.
Ben and I went to see Umphreys McGee play last night at Crash Mansion, they were awesome, I am going to G Love at the House of Blues Saturday, and our company is hosting a show at a smaller venue on Friday. It will be a great weekend.
Peace and Cheers,
