Things are going great out here in Doha so far.
I am nestled into my little house in the backyard with my mice friends. One even made me scream like a girl at 4am when it got bold and ran across the top of my bare foot.
I was accused of peeing the bed after Lauren woke me up by throwing a cup of boiling hot tea on me, burning me and soaking all the blankets and mattress in my room.
We are chugging along with our pre-production work and arranging meetings in Cairo for when we arrive on Feb 1st.
Doing some work on Where In The World Radio Volume 002.
*Brit has made some incredible things for the show.... so be on the look out for that soon.
One night, Dale, Lauren, Hend, and I went out and shot some nice long exposure portraits in an abandoned nursery. (The kind with plants not babies...... you freaks)
Here are some of my personal favorites:
Other than that.....lots of relaxing.... chilling out.... meeting up with friends.
Now for the NEWS
I know that my post about my "Big News" pissed a lot of people off....
so I will spill the beans now.
(Mallory, stop hating)
As of March 1st....
I will no longer be a New Yorker.... or a resident of the USA!!!
I will be moving to Doha for a job that I have always wanted. (More info to come)
Soooooo..... in lieu of this development, I will be having a MASSIVE BLOW OUT PARTY before I leave. Still deciding on a date and place (MAYBE Feb 27th at my apt).....
BUT one thing that is certain.....
THE TAXIDERMISTS WILL BE "REUNITING" TO PLAY!!!!!!!!!!
And by reuniting.... I mean, it will basically be Buy Star Bombs with me "singing" our old songs.
If there is anything I know about Taxidermists shows..... someone will get hurt (most likely me), everyone will be wasted, it will sound awful, and be the best time ever.
Just look what happened the last time we decided to do a song:
*51 seconds into the video, I totally eat shit, face first into the ground
This will be the perfect send off.
I will update everyone when the date is set.... but for sure it will be between Feb 23 and Feb 28.
With that being said, that's all I have to say.

In order for this to be the blowout rager you are describing someone has to knock your tooth out. I'll do it if nobody else will. You're welcome.
ReplyDeleteHey Mallory, I dont mind doing it too, only aceptable way is knee to the face.
ReplyDeleteJ, now that you're publicizing this video, I assume I'm at liberty to speak about it freely. The world will know. Congrats again, and an old nursery is the perfect location to setup clandestine chin wax operations. Good looks!
Dear Justin... I found you, I finally found you! And now you are moving far, far away to a place that I ignorantly know nothing of.
ReplyDeleteI have been secretly reading your blog for a little while (hehe). As long as you don't mind, I will continue to secretly read about your adventures.
I'm happy for you and I miss you!
Fondly and sincerely yours, nikki crupi
