Friends and Foes -

This Hot List is overdue (again)!   I am in LA making some new songs.  Eric is on his way over right now to record drums which is always great.  Last night I was in the house and noticed something on the mantle.  I asked what it was and it was a Fleshlight.  Google it.  No judgement on sex toys but on the mantle??  Oy, I need more girlfriends.

Okay earlier this week I twittered asking what people's first concert was.   Everyone's answers were HILARIOUS (Bryan Adams) and awesome (Nirvana) and also I was surprised to learn that like 30% of my twitter friends first concert was the Beach Boys.  I was inspired so as promised, this week's hot list is about firsts. 

HESTA PRYNN HOT LIST 10/16/09 - FIRSTS

1. My first concert - Bruce Springsteen Born in the USA tour.  I was too young for a concert, I don't' know what my parents were thinking.  We had 13th row seats and I begged to go home the whole time.  First concert of my choosing was Bon Jovi/Skid Row.  Amaaaaazing!

2. First tape I ever bought was Michael Jackson Thriller.  First cd I ever bought was Guns N Roses Use Your Illusion 1 & 2.  There are some dope songs on those records.  I used to listen to Don't Cry while I fell asleep.  November Rain, Estranged. 

3. First instrument I learned was piano. The piano I grew up with is in my apartment now, my mom gave it to me last year and I used it to write a lot of the melodies on the Hesta Prynn album I'm working on.

4. Northern State was my first band.

5. First rhyme I ever wrote was "I'm Hesta Prynn, let me begin, I like my coffee with lots of gin" which actually made it on to the Can I Keep This Pen? album at Adrock's suggestion.  He told us to always mine the old notebooks.

6. First song on the Hesta Prynn record I wrote was Seven Sisters. 

7. First phone number I ever had was 499-5876 which is also 499-JUPO.  My name is Julie Potash (duh) so people started calling me Jupo in high school cuz of that number. 

8. First and only car I ever drove was a Honda Civic.  Spero also had one for her first car as did Chuck Brody.  I drove it for a hot second before realizing that driving was NOT a gift I possess and just got my license for reals two months ago.

9.  First kiss was with Adam Goldstein in 5th grade - I just looked him up on Facebook and he's totally there, hah ha aha!  I haven't spoken to him in like 10 years!  I'm going to friend him now.  Feel free to harass him. 

10. First job I ever had was a waitress at an Italian restaurant called The Pine Tree Inn in high school.  I never waited tables before and my family ate pizza, McDonalds and mac n cheese 7 days a week so I knew NOTHING about food.  I got the job bc the waitress who worked there for like 10 years was literally (literally) walking out the door as I was walking in and they were desperate.  I worked the first shift like immediately.  Anyway one time I was there and a dude ordered a carafe of wine. I had never heard the word "carafe" before and I asked him to repeat it like three times.  Then I went into the kitchen and was like "does anyone know what a carafe is??" and they were like "you're fired".  (that last part isn't true but the rest of the carafe story totes is)

See you NY'ers at CMJ!

Sending luv -
