Last night, I attended the Grammy Recording Academy' s annual Christmas party called "Texas Rocks On". It was very intimidating to socialize and network with people who seem successful and well-versed in the music industry.

There was delicious food and an open bar but my favorite was the dessert bar from SugaPlump! Some of the highlights of the night included live music from a Blue October, they performed "Hate Me", "Into the Ocean" and another new one that I did not recognize. Paul Wall was there too with his shiny "Grillz" which he later performed.. I ran into my bosses from this past Summer when I interned at the Texas Music Office which is always a good time. :) During my internship this Summer, I had discovered a couple of new local artists that I found really talented! They showed up at the party last night and I instantly recognized them. Go check out Karyna Micaela and Zach Balch! I had my own little fangirl moment after meeting them :) I hope they come back to Austin soon to play some shows.
