Atlanta
I guess missing my flight yesterday morning was a blessing in disguise--I got to catch up on Hulu and write this blog!
Got into Atlanta on Easter Sunday and visited the World of Coca Cola with my buddy Jesse. Saw the original American Idol couch haha. If y'all have ever been there, you know you can taste different Coke brands from across the world. Pretty cool. One of them, Bibo from South Africa, was the sweetest thing I've ever tasted. Sort of gave me a sugar rush.
The next morning, visited my friends at Good Day, Atlanta. Here's a picture with Suchita Vadlamani. Desi love!
Yesterday was really fun as well. Met with Cristyle, a great writer who has penned songs for Mariah Carey, Beyonce, and Natasha Beddingfield among others. She LOVED "All is Fair" and we are definitely trying to work together for the next project. Really nice to have affirmation from people who are active in the industry. I can't wait for y'all to hear this album. I'm so happy and proud.
Here's a pic w Cristyle and Tremayne Anchrum at the ASCAP offices in Atlanta:
Finally, I got to go to an exclusive listening party for Janelle Monae's new album, ArchAndroid. Really great sound, and I was honored to be invited. This album is going to be huge!
Janelle breaking it down during her song "Tight Rope":
Great times with David and Cambey Mikush the past couple days! Excited about the rest of this week too: Miami, New Orleans, and then a concert with Sean Kingston in Chapel Hill on Sunday!
Thanks to everyone who came out to Revolution restaurant last night. Had a great time making my 'signature drink' the All is Fair, and all proceeds from that went to the Eve Carson Scholarship Thanks again!
Love,
Anoop

And have a Twitter party! :)
Bieber should endorse Bibo!
I hope someone's watering your plants in LA cuz you're never there. Not that I'm complaining. I like you on the East Coast.

Sounds like a great time in Atlanta. I wonder what kind of feedback David Mikush got from his local crowd when he appeared on TV.

The best is yet to come Anoop! I'm a believer!! Always have been, always will!
