Hello all you beautiful people!

First of all, happy November everyone!  I hope you’ve been enjoying this beautiful Fall weather!  October turned out to be a surprising month for some of us and I’d like to send out some congrats to a few friends.

First, wanted to send a congrats to my sista, Shantel Norman on her new website and her tribute to Amy Winehouse “You Know I’m No Good” featuring Lyrical.  Keep grinding, girlfriend.  ^_~

Congrats to my dear friend, Gregg E Moore on the creation of his troupe, Vintage Entertainment and on the booking and performances of his shows.  I wish you many successes, my friend.

Congrats to my boy Pedro Haro on the 2 week extension of his production of Little Shop of Horrors, going on now.  He’s playing Seymour.  This is pretty much late breaking news as of 3hrs ago, and if you’re in Oahu, Hawaii, GO HEAR HIM SING!!!  You can thank me later.

Congrats to my dear team NY members Brandi Thompson & Dayna Gross on their engagements to their loving boyfriends!  I’m very happy for you both and for all of you to have long and prosperous marriages!

And congrats to my girl, Sara Syms on the success of her band The Ashen.  Keep going girlfriend, you know I have your back. ^_^

Yep, there’s a lot to be thankful for, and I’m no exception…

1. This interview aired on “Under the Pink Carpet” on PBS, Channel 25 in New York all through the month of October…

This was the performance where I actually “broke” my foot on my way to the venue, but still took the stage anyway.  Thank you to Lovari, Fred Anguera, Lady Clover Honey, and all those who were a part of putting this together.

There’s more good news…

2. “Haters“, the music video by Lovari, featuring me has been nominated for “Best Dance/Electronic Video” at the 2011 RightOutTV Music Video Awards.

The winners will be announced on November 27th.

3. As many of you know, my day jobs is as an admin in the new technology sector in the business development unit at a major record label (yes, I still deal back jack, mainly poker these days, so ABC Television didn’t get it wrong).  To placate a side of me I’ve long suppressed, I’d decided to allow two of my world to collide: my former journalistic side and my geek tech side, and what came out of it was a new blog I christened “Digital Meanderings: Response to Tech News and Other Trivial Matters“.  The concept was originally tech news with some personality and my own brand of humor.  Since it’s inception, the site has consistently brought in some pretty good numbers for a blog that doesn’t have anything more than occasional facebook, twitter, and tumblr promotion.  What’s also interesting is who’s been reposting my blog posts.  NYTimes tech podcast editor Pedro Rafael Rosado admitted to being a fan of my commentary (then again, he’s also a friend, so he understands my humor).  He’s been known to retweet my posts to his followers on facebook and on twitter, as well as Maxim editor and former editor of Rolling Stone, Joe Levy.  The Humor Gazette and Pod313 Tech Tips has also followed suit, and this has been within one month.  I’m grateful for the love so let’s see how it develops in November.

4. You may have heard a buzz grow around about a possible documentary.  We are not talking about major studio production, but there’s documentary talk going around.  I can’t go into full details, but basically it’s being negotiated right now.  If things work out, don’t be surprised if you find someone following me with a camera for three months or more.  No, I’m not kidding.^_^

5. As for my single “One More Time”, the drop date has been pushed back by my producer.  Once I get some more information on it, I’ll let you know.  If you want a taste of it, listen to the intro and the credit background music for a teaser of my upcoming single  “One More Time”. ^_~

6. There’s also word down the pike that two interviews I did over the Summer will be released to the public soon.  Once that happens, I’ll let you know.

Enjoy your week and stay sexy!

Love,

-Janifer ^_~

One more thing…

I’m going to be dealing Texas Holdem poker at the MS Charity Poker tournament in Port Chester, NY on Saturday, November 12th.  First prize is a seat at the upcoming World Series of Poker tournament out in Vegas.  Those who are interested in playing for a good cause should stop by.  To register, head over to their website:
