I’m the eternal third wheel to my friend and her boyfriend these days. After an adventurous meal at an Oaxacan restaurant where I was the only gringa in the place, we strolled up to The Wiltern for an evening with The Kills. I like The Kills…but I’m really there because I girlcrush on Alison Mosshart. [...]
As I gathered my things to make the trek to Long Beach, I read the news about a widespread blackout in Southern California. Long Beach could be included in that…would that mean tonight’s show would be canceled? I’ve had about 5 failed attempts at seeing Holy Grail. The last time, I walked in as they [...]

We were lost in downtown LA’s Chinatown. That is, until we saw the white van and trailer and long-haired men amidst the pseudo-foreign land backdrop. It was the kick off show for Gypsyhawk‘s tour. As we waited for the venue to open, we walked amidst the glow of neon signs and chinese lanterns, on an [...]
That morning I woke up crying. I’d had the most intense dream yet about my mom. She recently started appearing in them…however, she’s still sick.

It’s the last three day weekend before you get into those family focused holidays. It’s when I have to start [...]
“Keyed up, all tore up Free from thought, walking backwards Tranquil anxiety Refraining from walking backwards Reverse and rewind Contemplate moving forward Regrets indicate, moving forth is walking backwards We tread a long time On occasion, on the line Swaying, weighing Straying from this tired climb” ~”Tired Climb”, Kylesa This month is going to be [...]
On Tuesday morning, I was working away and took a quick Facebook break when something popped up in my feed regarding Marilyn Manson. It was about a book signing taking place within walking distance of my place in two days. It was a small miracle that was my only free night for a long time, [...]
“Standing on the ocean side We can hear the waves Calling us out with tide To sail into our fate” ~”The Pursuit of Vikings”, Amon Amarth It was supposed to be my last night in LA. Thank Odin it wasn’t! I feel like I’m just getting started. So what was supposed to be my goodbye [...]
Even though I’m just a small town girl, I love the city. I love having everything at my fingertips, the anonymity in a sea of people, the vibrancy of bustling city life. But there are a few special places in the US- random towns in the middle of nowhere- that have a special creative energy. [...]
