Writers From The Block

Hey my lovely Chameleon, in today's blog I decided that I will tell you about the first Writers From The Block and my experience. Writers From The Block was created by Noa, who was on The Launch season 2. We will get to The Launch soon in this post. Anyway, what I was saying is that Writers On The block focus up and coming Canadian artists in the GTA, Greater Toronto Area. No covers, just original songs.

Now that I told you Chameleons a little bit about what Writers From The Block is about, I am going to say how I found out about this event. On March 21 I was on Instagram going threw InstaStories. I was watching Ezra Jordan's and he posted that he will be playing at the event on April 4th in Toronto. Then I noticed in the post, CharlieThe Kid was performing too, he was from The Launch season 2. Then I see the name "Jayde" I forgot for a moment who she was, but I remembered seeing that name. Jayde was the runner up against Olivia Lunny. A few days later, I see the post from Writers From The Block InstaStory showing who all was playing. Justin Benololo was playing with Charlie, Jayde, Noa, & Chad.

Little did I know, that besides Charlie & Jayde, Noa & Chad where also on The Launch. Like wow! I felt like I was at a party for The Launch lol.

After Charlie, Jayde, and Noa (In that order) performed I went to Squid and explained that I remember who Charlie is and what season he was from, I just forgot what episode (Sorry Charlie if you are reading this) and then I looked behind Squid and saw Charlie. Then I looked at Squid and told him that I shouldn't of said that. Squid asked if he was behind him. I said yeah. After that Squid asked if I wanted to meet Charlie, cause he was standing behind Squid. I go up, introduce myself as Milly (My Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook all Milly Valvasori now). Charlie was happy that we finally met in person. We had a full on conversation about getting lost, Greyson Chance, The Launch, Shania Twain, & alcohol. You know, all the important stuff lol. I asked him if we can have a picture and that Squid will take it. After that I decided to go back in the crowd and listen to Chad. When everyone was done I went up to Jayde. I told her that I was telling myself that her new song is called Ultra Violence, not Ultra Violet (Fun fact; my eyes read faster then my brain) we laughed. Then I asked if we can take a picture. We did. We took pictures with her phone. Later she DM the pictures to me on Instagram.

I love seeing people I recognize and even hearing new new music

The group picture is blurry. I do not have a steady hand at times. I wanted to get the picture before all the performers were gone from the stage. Loved that I got these pictures with Charlie & Jayde. I also love that everyone I take a picture with bends down to my level lol. I smiled at Noa when Charlie was on and she smiled back

Writers From The Block is every first and third Thursday of the month at the B Side Lounge in Toronto.
