week of fortune

Thank goodness I can let you know the good news now, that I got a job! I was hesitant to even mention anything about it, since as most of you know I am incredibly (to an extreme) superstitious and didn't want to jinx anything (knock on wood, throwing salt over my shoulder, etc.). But I now can confirm I'm working in development for the film festival here! Hooray! It is all a lot of luck and fate when it came to timing for this job, since I blindly emailed my resume to them, hoping they would have any sort of opening, and they just happened to have the person for the job fall through (hours before I sent my email. so weird) so they needed someone right away. And that's where I come in. I had a bit of training today and I'm so excited about it. And a bonus - as part of the job I'll get to take photos at the festival!

Another piece of good news...I just signed a contract on an apt! I can't wait. It needs a bit of a remodel - as in, it needs the cheetah-in-the-wild photos taken off the wall and the green couch with the Navajo style blanket replaced - so I'll be doing some revamping and remodeling which absolutely thrills me. My suppressed interior designer inside of me will at last be put to work.

Also exciting is that I'm going to the Bluegrass festival tomorrow. It's been going on all week and weekend and the town is packed. Well, packed for Telluride. Compare it to New York, eh not so much. But people have been camping all week (I admire them, something I could never do - two showers for everyone! seriously!) and bringing out their bongos. Music galore. Anyways, so tomorrow it's an all day thing and it's supposed to be gorgeous weather, with Ani DeFranco and Ryan Adams as two of the acts. I'm bringing my camera so I'll have some fun photos to share I hope.
