CMJ has always been an excuse for me to get ridiculously drunk and watch bands that I love rip the stage a new asshole. It was a time where we ran around the streets and knew that for one week mainstream music takes a backseat and passionate artists get to shine.

Yes…CMJ was all those things and more, but this was the first time I got to cover the event as a music journalist! It was like a dream come true! I got to meet so many bands (some who I have written about…and they ACTUALLY remembered!) and so many new people that every day was a dream I just didn’t want to wake up from. I plugged my blog so much and took just as much pictures. I hope you guys get a kick out of this and enjoy it as much as I enjoyed doing what I love and am so passionate about for a week straight.
