Well, the news is finally out. System of a Down is holding a benefit concert on April 24th to raise money for efforts in the Armenian genocide recognition. :D I'm furious I wont be able to go, as there will be a few events going on in DC on April 24th, so friends in LA, please enjoy the show for me!

On a local note, I am off to New Jersey this weekend to visit my sister and cousin. I can't wait, I haven't seen them for a while and when I do, it's always brief. So I'm VERY excited to spend time with them up in NYC. Not to mention, I will be driving up a group of... 20-25 (I forget the final count) for a basketball/tavloo/blot tournament. We are such Armenians. I myself will partake in the tavloo competition and embarrass everyone, particularly myself. HA!
But I must say, there is a growing community of young professionals/students in DC. I gotta admit, I'm enjoying the company. These people are characters on their own. Brought together, we make one entertaining disfunctional family. I feel the love... and it kept me sane through this week.
Hayastan most certainly is the best cure for my pains and soon enough it will do a number on me. There has never been and never will be a doubt in my mind that I'll be living in Armenia very soon. Until then, those of us less fortunate must make the best of what we have.
