I got this photo from some Korean website. It looks funny in a way. Well, I don't think it' true. There is no Korean high-school photo either. Well, the guy who posted this photo is a Korean.. That's why... .. Hum..

I had no idea who they are until I got in the place, Sphere last Saturday night. Well, so many people came out for their concert and they seemed very excited about it.
I got a free admission to get in there actually. What happened to me, Here the story is.

Michael Bureman (I don't know his last name spelling exactly), Soundlab assistant called me in the morning. Well, of course I didn't pick up the phone because I was in the bed. Well, but I wanted to check message though.. I was scarcely awaking and checked the message. He left "Hi Soyeon, this is Micheal Burman, I'm looking for Robin's phone number and if you know please give me a call back" Hum.. Robin..? She is in GA right now. I ignored his message and went back to sleep.Then.. He kept calling me again to look for Robin. Okay.. Finally I picked up the phone and "hi" and told him "Robin is in Georgia" He said.. "oh, then would you be interested in passing out flyers at the concert tonight.. you can get a free ticket and free drink" Hum... Sounds good to me. That's what happened to me. So I was substitute of Robin because she wasn't here.

Well, I was interested in doing that not only going to the concert but also checking ID and taking money at the door of Soundlab. I needed some activity. But, as considering that I didn't grow up in America, I don't know many underground bands. So, every time, I find out good bands and music, I'm always willing to go and listen.

Soundlab people were talking about Sonic Youth, but it sounded like to me "Santa Cruse" So.. I thought.. we are going to see Santa Cruse.... Santa Cruse.. Hum.. Sounds not bad. So, I asked Leah at the concert.. When Santa Cruse coming out..?
Of course, she laughed a lot.. No.. No.. Sonic Youth. She said and added who they are. The concert was amazing. I loved it. Of course I had to give the flyers out to people at the concert. Of course I got shy by doing that. Because I never done doing that kind of stuff before. Micheal Burman was looking at me and telling me.. "give them out" The flyers says.. Party at Soundlab afterward Sonic Youth. I don't know I got very shy to pass out flyers. But I had so much fun at the concert.

Afterward, at Soundlab, I checked ID and took money at the door. It was really fun. I couldn't stop smiling people because I was telling people.. "ID and 2 box, please" Well, I don't know.. gathering money and checking ID... It's very fun to do it. Of course I couldn't notice some people's ages. Also, I gave "X" marks to people under 21.. Whenever I gave the marks... I said.. "Sorry,, but I have to give it to you" One guy came up to me and said.. "I never ever seen happy door person like you" Yeah.. I had so much fun..

Thanks Robin for being in Georgia right now.

I want to share a story of my youngest sister with people on elmwoodstrip.com. She wrote on her journal and it made me laugh a lot. Oh well, I miss her.

Okay.. here the story is, actually it doesn't sound really funny for you guys. If you don't like the story, don't blame at me. Please.

My youngest sister, her name is Yoonjeong, she lives in London for school like me.
Actually, she got really young face, and even she doesn't do makeup either. Well, she loves dressing up and collecting pretty stuff. Yeah, sometimes I feel like.. too much.. Anyway.. She goes to school by train in London, yeah of course in London, everything is expensive. So, she wanted to save money from transportation. In London, under 15 years old children can get 50% discount for the trains. Well, she is an asian and got young face. So, she always gets tickets for children.. under 15 years old ticket, then she can save money. 50%. She never had a problem with that until a train guy who takes care of ticket thingie asked her the other day like..."how old are you?". She never expect that's gonna happen to her. So.. she said.. "15 years old." But the guy was very suspicious of looking at her and asked her again "When did you born?" She couldn't calculate at the moment immediately. (Actually she is 24 years old). Even she didn't know when 15 years old kids born. So.. she just said.. "1986" which means she could be 17 years old or 18 years old. And the guy gave her evil eyes. "That's not 15 years old kids born year" She got really embarrassed on the train and didn't know what to do. Even she thought.."oh my god, I might go to police station" But, the train guy smiled her later around "don't do that from now on" So, she survived. But she wrote, she still does that. Hum.. that's my youngest sister..

I guess, the train guy must be known some asian girls got young face so that they can't notice their ages exactly. Anyway.. I thought it was so funny. Actually the way she wrote about the story in Korean was so funny. Well, we are trouble in another country. Me, I got a problem in this country.."car problem because I didn't take care of car inspection thingie and tickets thingie so that I can't drive my car right now" And, my youngest sister just wanted to save money.. but.. it's a problem for her sometimes. Oh well..

Here my youngest sister recent picture in London is.

I was gonna correct my grammar and english.. but I'm too sleepy to correct my journal right now.. But, music keeps me awaking.. Do you know Sufjan Sevens..?
It's very mellow that makes you feel trveling somewhere.

So, I came back to Buffalo last night and Alan and Anna picked me up at the train station. Traveling with train in this country needs little your patients, otherwise you can get bored or tired. But, I liked it a lot. The railroad follows Hudson river from the Croton-Harmon to Albany which represents so beautiful senery that gives you heart-meditated. I want to go treveling there again and get off each station, stay one or two night at a cheap safe country-style hotel. Also, have good music collection with me, without having music it doesn't make me feel romantic or meditated. I regrated that I didn't bring my video camera on this trip. Actually I was thinking that I don't deserve to be a video artist. Many successful artists always carry their stuff everywhere they go. Well, I got a lot of things come up about my work while sitting in the train cafeteria. I like the cafeteria on the train a lot. The windows widely opened that can capture your eyes on outside passing senery. I drew some stuff from passing images - I haven't drown for a long time.- and I wrote some my impressions.

"Romantic feelings are from human meditated nature."

Well, I told Alan about this on the way school this morning, he gave me funny eyes and told me "That's in general".. Right, that's in general. Oh well,..

It's weird back to Buffalo because weather is totally different from Stamford and New York. Of course, it's chilly here and little cold too. I don't know which weather I like. I like Buffalo weather better than too hot weather. But, it makes me feel gloomy and depressed again. It's dark.. My room needs lifting on light all the time. Craig's house doesn't need. I miss his house coming natural light from the all windows. I miss Craig too. Well, I miss his companionship. He is my family in this country. Sometimes we are like cat and dog, but he is the one close to my heart as a friend.

He called me while Alan and I having a coffee after picking me up. Of course, he told me at the station like "Don't trust anybody on the train. Don't leave your bag from you, Make sure Alan picks me up on time, blur, blur" Oh well, I think he is my dad. No, no, no .. He is younger then me.. So, when he called me, I said, "Craig, I made a mistake to get off the train, I'm not in Buffalo." He sounded very surprise.. and telling me "where are you? can you see any sign?" Hey.. boy.. I'm a 33 years old woman, I know things. I wish I could tell him like that.. But,, "I'm kidding" Oh well.. I miss him already. I miss him caring me. I don't know when I'm gonna see him again. I talked to him on the phone tonight. He asked me.. "how's buffalo?" So I told him.."it's so cold and got depressed again" He said.."you never be happy with weather.. too hot, too cold" and it reminds me my old man in Korea. He said same thing as what Craig said to me. I never be happy with weather. Oh well..

I asked Alan and Anna.. "Am I close to your heart as a friend?" Anna said and laughed.."No, you are too far from the heart" God damn it..

Oh well... I need to go to my cave soon..
