Sadly, in less than two weeks, I will be leaving the city I have fallen so madly in love with... and I haven't even seen most of what it has to offer! Anyone have ideas on how to make $1700 in 2 weeks?!? I went on another open call extravaganza yesterday- found 7 and made it to 6- damn me for leaving my resumes at the first one and realizing it going to the only one that was only an hour long-awsome! but no worries, the 6 hopefuly will bring something good. but then again, I have done this before and the interviews seem great, they write little notes, say they are putting this one aside, and then they never call... but trying to remain positive... and hoping the few that were good will call-plus a few didn't seem to crowded as excpected so maybe its a better chance. I might attempt a few more days of this to improve my chances as well... gotta do some research on the good ol faithful-Craigslist- and hope i recieve some much needed subway fare. I definately went ALL over the city yesterday, and they all seemed to perfectly go from one end to the other.(or midtown to downtown).. got off at houston atleast 2 different times, went to south ferry for the first time and re-submitted my resume to one open call I recognized walking to in hells kitchen-hey maybe they will recognize my resume and give me a shot...
I wish I had my selling licence, I'd set up shop in Union Square.. sell random shit... things Ive made and collected cause I don't know how to really sell them... i.e. embroidered tops, a calendar, collaged shit and handbags... random... I know! Maybe one day I will just go out there with my suitecase and try until a cop asks me for the selling licence and then just play dumb... Im a girl... it can work right?!?!
Today, on the other hand of being productive in my search to stay in NY-which I wasn't, I walked, yes WALKED, to the Brooklyn Bridge Park. I was shooting for the Brooklyn Promonade, but decided the park would do. So yeah, definately walked down Flushing ave the entire way, wasn't sure if that was a smart idea before I left, but I figured it was mid-day and I'd be fine-plus I clipped my pepper spray in my pocket just in case. It actually wasn't soo bad... yeah the first few blocks looked like rundown warehouses-which they probably were.. and after the few neighborhoods I wouldn't be caught dead in if it was night time... it turned into a predominant orthodox jewish area(obvious by the guys with top hats and curls and every lady in a long ankle length skirt, hoes, flats and 90% pushing mini versions of either of the previous descripitons around in a stoller). Then... it was nice downtown brooklyn area/prospect hieghts.
all in all a good walk, but defiantly not one I would take past 5 pm. It was a beautiful day out too! damn the hot dog guy for not being open, but still sat and read on the dock and had a good time.
till the next time.... peaceout cub scout!
