Finally a new post. It's been nearly a year!
I'd decided to put this blog on the back burner for a while so that I could focus on other things in my life- particularly music.
And now, I've decided to revive this site at this time because I am about to embark on a new adventure-an extended stay in London. I thought it would be great to share my food travel experiences, as well as my music-doings, while abroad. So, this blog will slightly morph. It will be a vegan music tour blog, if you will!
To get back on track, let me share some of the things I've been up to this year:
~It's been a year chock-full of yoga and open mikes (shout out to Pete's Candy Store!).
~ My friend Bud Burdick, a vibrant member of the NYC vegan community, died of leukemia. I had the honor of helping organize and perform at his fundraiser party. He is lovingly missed.
~Yesterday was my last day at my job of five years (goodbye lunches at Terri and Loving Hut!).
~I've just completed my first solo EP, which my talented vegan singer-songwriter friend John-Flor Sisante helped mix and produce. By the way, he did an incredible performance at the Will Travel For Vegan Food+Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary Fundraiser Party last night!
~ I recently did my last show with my indie rock band KOSHKA (it's been good times!).
~ I made a music video (eek!).
~I traveled in May to Sicily, Rome, Venice and Milan and fell in love with the country and the language (I promise to post more about that soon!).
~And this has been a year of growth and spirituality-and deep friendship (ahem, Kate Wolff!).
Whew! That about sums up 2013 up until this point-and it's not over yet!
Here are some pics from the year:
My 4th annual birthday dinner at Pure Food and Wine. Their desserts give me mouthgasms.
With Rachel Kay at the NY Vegetarian Food Festival. I stocked up on some Faux Gras from the Regal Vegan and got to see Victoria Moran of Main Street Vegan speak. She's so amazing!
Shooting the music video with friends Rachel Kay and Kate Wolff. This was taken in my room in Jersey City!
Performing at my EP release show at Paddy Reilly's. Such a great time!
And that's all for now.
Today, I pack!
xo,
Ellie
