2009 Resolution N°1: Leave New York Once Monthly

Traveling is my second love and this year I'm making myself a promise to leave New York once a month. I want to know what's popping off in other cities, what the dance scene is like, eat the food, talk to people, take photos, explore and educate myself. Here's what I've loosely planned through the summer.

January: Philly (first time!) for vintage shopping, cafe hopping, and chilling with my homegirl.

February: DC (first time!) to visit my peoples and to shake my ass a bit in the nation's capital.

March: Niagara Falls? Toronto? Montreal? *shrugs* Somewhere north.

April: N. Hollywood to visit my sister, her new gallery/performance/event space, and to do it up BIG in LA.

May: Boston for my other favorite cousin's graduation from Bible School.

June/July: Europe! The trajectory is Amsterdam, Rotterdam, London, Paris, Copenhagen, Malmo, Gothenberg and Stockholm. Possible work could bring me to Łódź, Poland and Berlin. More on this later...

Later this year, I want to head down to Durham (for the American Dance Festival), Miami, Chicago, Detroit, and Northern Haiti (to visit my other favorite cousin). I think this is possibly the best resolution I've come up with! Go me. I plan to post about each city of course, so stay tuned!
