IzzyG takes 1st place!

Spirit of the Arts Karate Tournament.

You go girl!

Izzys creative form

Peace, people!

I have a few videos hanging out at YouTube and my mom's going to get them posted here on Blogger eventually.

On October 21st I'm going to be in the Spirit of the Arts karate tournament. Here's a video clip of me practicing my creative form. The song is called Exile, by a band called 4 on the Floor. The album is called 4x4, and all their songs are in 4/4 time. Pretty cool, actually.

Peace out!

Something to think about (please forgive the word sh*t)

IzzyG post Summerland Tour

IzzyG Lights it up with Lit ~Summerland Tour 2012~

Here is a sweet edited version of me and Samantha singing with Lit at Summerland Tour, August 4th, 2012. And then my mom saying blah, blah, blah (and maybe some important stuff, too).

Mom says: I was walking around the crowd, trying to get to the side of the very front and hoping to take some pictures of Izzy and Samantha rocking out.

I passed a friend of mine, who said, "Oh, yeah, they're right up in front, but you'll never be able to see them."

I shrugged it off, thinking maybe I'd catch a little glimpse, and knowing that my camera has 18x zoom - usually I can get some kind of picture.

So as I'm weaving between and around people, I hear some chit-chat coming from the band... "This your first concert?" and "How old are you? You're 8?"

And I started cracking up, because I knew what was going to happen next.

Isabelle has these sparkly eyes and an animated face - when she's excited, she just radiates that excitement, and it's really appealing.

When I realized she was going to be onstage with Lit - an awesome rock band - I started to shake. No kidding!

I was a shy, self-conscious kid - there's no way I'd have ever pulled off anything remotely entertaining on a stage with a rock band - I'd have been standing there frozen with fear.

My kid? She said later that it was really scary and that her knees were shaking, but you'd have never guessed.

I started swimming through the crowd, camera held high, telling people, - "I gotta get up there - that's my kid!" and the crowd was great, shuffling me forward. And when I got to the very front, the stage staff asked if I was the mom, and they let me through the front barrier, so I got to stand right below the girls and Lit and take pictures and video. I've never been invited to cross the line before - talk about sweet.

Izzy's Lit experience didn't end when she got off the stage, either. She said all sorts of people in the audience were high-five-ing her and Samantha, and some even asked for their autographs.

So the two little girls went over to the merch area to see if they could talk to the band, and they kept coming back with stuff. They had a handful of guitar picks, the set lists that had been taped to the stage floor, Summerland Tour posters, umbrella hats (we had a lovely little 10 minutes of rain during the Gin Blossoms), and coolest of all - personalized signed Lit posters.

These girls had an incredible experience.

Part of me wonders if I shouldn't have been over there with the girls, but man, I'm really pretty shy, and I'd hate to go all fan-girly and be a weirdo and ruin it for my kid, you know? This was really HER experience, and from the sounds of it, the band was phenomenally awesome to these kids.

Izzy's been working on this video series, and I haven't been terribly motivated to learn how to edit them and get them up on YouTube, but now I'd better get cracking on that.

She started this video series because she loves entertaining people. She's got a fun, casual, "we're just chatting" kind of style and she's just so funny and likeable.

I think I need to steer Izzy's energy and ego into a positive direction. To that end, I did some research and chose Water.org as a charity to support. It's a US-based company headed by Gary White and Matt Damon, and it's got good rating with Charity Navigator and the US Better Business Bureau. Looks like they're doing important work that benefits real people, in a reality-based time frame.

If you like IzzyG's videos, it would be great if you'd  donate a few dollars to water.org here. 

I don't know how she's ever going to top singing with Lit in the IzzyG Video series, but maybe if we use her energy and appeal for something good, opportunity will knock.

Let's change the world together!

IzzyG Joins Water.org

Hi everybody -

My name is Isabelle but everybody calls me Izzy. This is my new blog and will be the home of my IzzyG video series. My mom says I have energy and ego, and a world-changing personality, so we'd better use it for good.

We saw a picture on Facebook a few days ago that had a message. The message was that not everybody has clean water to drink. It is hard to imagine NOT having a kitchen sink (and a bathroom sink, and a 2nd bathroom sink and a bathtub and a shower and an outside water hose) where you just turn on the tap and clean, drinkable water comes out.

Mom keeps saying that someday I'm gonna change the world, and she decided since I keep asking her to post videos of me on YouTube, that maybe we should just get started now, and she would help me figure where to start.

Thanks for reading my first post on IzzyGVids.
