A little bit about me...

Exploring all the best that LA has to offer.
Got married to an amazing man in July 2015 on our 6 year anniversary. Our wedding was insane. We had 5 live musical acts and a professional club DJ. Thrill Kill Kult headlined. We also had festival style food with 4 different "vendors" serving up multi-ethnic grub. Turns out planning a festival is a lot of work!
Have lived in Hollywood since 2011; lived in San Diego from '98 - '11. Originally from AZ.
Work weekdays in a restaurant and keep evenings and weekends free for maximum music intake.
Say hi next time you see me at a show!

My other tastes include...

John Waters, Bruce LaBruce, Larry Clark, Greg Araki
Roseanne, Golden Girls, OITNB, Downton Abbey
Thai food, ice cream, pho, korean bbq, soul food
Runyon canyon, SD Zoo, Blacks Beach
LACMA, NHMLA, MoCA, Craft & Folk Art Museum
Culture Collide, FYF, Coachella

I spend most of my day...

Downloading, tagging, sorting, and listening to music! I have a MASSIVE mp3 library and am obsessive about how it's organized. Also spend a little time each day planning and researching for my concert calendar.

Songkick changed my life back in '08, when I googled a few old shows for that "Name 50 concerts you've been to" facebook note that was going around. Doubled my entire life's gigography within a year or two.

My dream concert would be...

The Tear Garden, This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins, Coil, and Lamb.
