My new job





7 and 1/2 months have passed since I decided to finally live my life. At the time it seemed that time had completely stood still. But now that my journey has reached its first benchmark I can honestly say that was the fastest 7 months of my life. And it was only when I was focused on what I wanted that everything started to move in ffwd. Holding the picture in my head like a mental postcard is what I attribute all my blessings to. --It's just the way the universe works--

My New Job:

Throwing parties and concerts and club nights are one thing. Taking it to the big leagues is a whole other ball game. I started in my bed room. Thinking, planning, brainstorming -- chasing. Last week I finally arrived to the destination of my first mental postcard. I have been lucky enough to be asked to join the PDP ENTERTAINMENT GROUP. PDP promotes and produces everything from major festivals, concerts, fundraisers, e
ven theatre. They're work spans all across Canada and over seas. Specializing in Urban music and reggae PDP has worked very closely with such artists as 50 Cent, Akon, Kanye West, Jay Z, Usher, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and the list goes on...

My First Assignment: Aug 5 2010, at Fort Calgary for 15,000 ppl: Rock Legend Van Morrison.

It started at my desk at home. And now I get to in every morning and be with the pros. All day the energy in the room is buzzing. Calls with Hova's manager going on in one room, Calls with 50 Cent's manager in the other room. Its hard to explain what its like to be in the middle of it all. (Literally, my desk is right in the middle of the office) Today I sent an email to Major Lazer's agency, trying to bring them to Calgary. "Sorry no available dates" was the answer. My first attempt and I got shut down. --but I fucking love it-- I can't wait for tomorrow.
