Sorry I havent been posting, though I dont know if anybody but me and Aliza have actually noticed. But if you have, and were wondering why, I moved to Eastie on Friday and havent gotten my internet hooked up yet. This is gonna be a long post, I'll cover everything that has hapened this week. By the way, this is my last week as Aliza's intern, so after this, no more blog. Unless of course I find some other use for it.

Monday: Mondays are always short days because I have to go to school in the middle of the day, but after that I went out to allston to post flyers. I had gotten almost everywhere when I ran out of tape. But that was okay because I was exhausted anyway. I think that I'm starting to get allergies. :(

Tuesday: Tuesday was dedicated to tie and bandana making. Youth Pride is on Saturday, so we have to get ready to sell them there. The bandanas look really cute, we have a couple with skull and crossbones, and one with swallows. I think those are gonna sell really well. We also started on some ties. Aliza's sale at RISD went really well so we have to replenish our stock. I was supposed to do some myspace promoting, but we ran out of time

Wednesday: Yesterday we started early (nine) which sucks because now that I've moved it takes even longer to get out to Dorcester. I got to the myspace promotion for the events coming up. I'll post those flyers + info later. and continued to work on the bandanas. Then we went out to post some flyers. We went to the garment district, coolidge corner, and Jamaica plain.

Today (thursday): Today we went around to do more flyering. We did allston, the art store on Comm. ave, and some places in harvard square. I might be forgetting places because it was really hot. Now I am about to do some more internet promo and probably work on some more ties.

Coup!

Today I staged a coup against Aliza, and I have taken over her website. She has taught me too much and now I am using it against her! Plus I learned more about HTML and I learned how to update the website and post photos on it.
Stay tuned for more of my evil plans!

HTML

Today I learned some of the basics of HTML coding and whatnot. Besides putting links and pictures in here( which Aliza taught me in the beginning) I had no idea how to do anything, but I had always wanted to learn. I know what it looks like, basically, but other that that the internet is just magic as far as I am concerned. So now she showed me how she uploads stuff onto her server. I went through all of the links in the photo page of her website and made it so all the liks open in a new window. It took a really long time, but I guess thats how im going to learn this.

Today I just did some miscelaneous work aliza had for me, like prepping for the MFA's gay and lesbian film fest, and CineMental and doing some myspace promotion for that and Dr.Sketchy. This kind of stuff is not the most interesting but I know it needs to get done. Myspace is a huge help to bands and indie promoters like aliza because it gives you such easy acess to so many people.

TDB Records

Monday I went and hung out with Jonah at Teenage Disco Bloodbath Records after I got out of school. It was nice to get a change of scenery, not that working for Aliza isn't super exiting. We mostly just talked about the stuff I was interested in working on, and I met the guitarist for his band Ramming Speed who was cool. I really am looking forward to working with him.

more flyers

Here are some flyers for upcoming stuff:

This is Aliza's new Queer film project
