MMVA Afterparty

Ready to party!

Last weekend I went to the Much Music Video Awards afterparty with work. I had a great time there getting to know some of my coworkers outside of the office and just enjoying the celebration for a very well-done award show.

The DJ set was spun by Far East Movement and LMFAO, and I had the privilege of meeting with and talking to some bands, and their staff. There were also some songwriters and local musicians present, and I really can't remember how many people I met!

I'm really glad that I don't come into the offices on Monday though, because I was out until 4:00 in the morning, and I was really, really happy to be able to sleep in.

I didn't take many photos at the party, because it's a nightclub and nothing really turned out well, but I do have a photo of the DJ booth here on my instagram and the view from the VIP booth, here.

Below I have some photos of what I wore, since... I feel like it's obligatory to post them. (click to make them bigger!) Everyone loved my manicure! I got so many questions about it, which made me pretty proud because I've never used charms or decals before. I posted a photo of it in my last entry.

Wearing my hair like this makes me want to shave it again!

My "sparrow claw" bracelet from Queen St.

Brash wedges, because I'm really short.

Whirlwind

I've been very busy working away at the label, and looking for a new place to live, but on Wednesday I went to go see a room in an apartment over in Riverdale (East Chinatown). It's perfect (although very small), so I'm going to put a desposit down on it this Monday and move in July 1st!

At work, I've been taking over some of the marketing assistants' jobs while they've been on their summer vacation hours, which is awesome! It really makes me happy to think that they trust me with their jobs and to speak with important collegues like band managers, and other marketing directors at outside labels. I've also been taking a lot of extra graphics work when there's overflow since my coworkers discovered I'm more than skilled with photoshop. Ehehehe.

Next weekend we're gearing up for the MMVAs, and it's going to be a busy time for us, since a good chuck of the Universal Canada roster is going to be there. There's Hedley, Marianas Trench, Carly Rae Jepsen, LIGHTS, Dragonette, Nelly Furtado, Down With Webster, Bieber, and Far East Movement, to name a few. Everyone has been rushing to make sure everything is perfect, from crowd handouts, to budget and red carpet entrances. Some of the artists are going to make a huge splash, you'll see!

I'm mostly just really excited (and scared) to move into my own space in July... It's all I can think about. I'll also be able to feel comfortable bringing my camrea equipment up with me, so I can share how beautiful Toronto is with all of you.

As for new music... Listen to Medicine, by the UK band 'Daughter,' it might just bring tears to your eyes.
