My dream is finally going to come true...over the weekend I met with my mom's college friend that lives in Brazil (he just happened to be in Philly when i e-mailed him!) We had a two hour convo about the country, why i need to come...and when I'm coming. So...plans are set. A couple good friends and I will be taking that 13 hour flight to paradise...i'm so drawn to the history, beauty and of course the food ;) from this country. BUT! My 24th birthday will be spent in Rio De Janeiro during Copacabana!!
I am ecstatic :D
Anyway.. just thought I'd share!
..felt like dancing! lol

updates! updates!
AUTHENTIC: we are now media partners with Philadelphia Weekly Newspaper...an indie art and culture paper that releases every Wednesday. It's A must read on things going on in the city..so I'm so happy that we have established that relationship. We now get free ad space and coverage on all our events...And, we'll be planning an event with PW in the future..so i'll let you know when that happens.
We are also partners with Whole Foods! :D One of my favorite places...and they have Jamba Juice!! lol anyway...this partnership will provide goodies at events and they want us to use their bags ha ha. At first I thought it was a weird request..BUT it will work out with our gift bags..so WHEN i see you on June 6th..you're gift bag will be courtesy of Whole Foods.
Joslyn Rose Lyons...a filmmaker from LA/SF: www.jog9.com will be collaborating with AUTHENTIC to showcase her latest film FundaMENtals..in the summer. I'm very excited about this...check out her website..she's doing a lot and she was featured in Schememag.com's MARCH Ladies Issue. By the way we are still releasing material...so check the site often! STACEY WILSON who will be my visual artist in June has a piece..and you can check out her work.
We are also looking to invite artists (male and female) in the surrounding Philly area to the event..so its a party/networking event. If you know of any artists that might want to be featured...or i should meet them...connect with me..or pass my info simone.janae@gmail.com/www.myspace.com/monironi
I have a lot of ideas in my head...so I want to gather a L O N G list of artists both musical and visual so i can expose them... :) gracias!
