A LETTER FROM ME TO YOU:
Dear Friends,
Countless numbers of amazing notable and local artists have graced the Whisky's stage. These singers have provided the club with well, simply...history. I am endlessly blown away when I hear stories that the owner Mario may tell when he reminisces over a cigar and a glance out of our office windows...stories about Guns n Roses or James Brown or Aretha Franklin or Jim Morrison or Van Halen...the Whisky has been around since 1964. the oldest and most legendary rock club, ever...with the oldest and most legendary stories, ever! I'm blown away when Sting tells me how its been a long time since he last played the Whisky and how nice it is to be back and then I tease him about how we can't afford him anymore, but it's great to have him at least to announce their return...what other club could have hosted The Police to announce their reunion? There is the place it all began for them, for many... and there is no club in all of Hollywood or the world really, who shares even an ounce of history of artists or bands who have reaped success.
The Whisky is the stomping ground - even Eminem, Cold Play, Tenacious D, Travis Mccoy of the Gym Class Heroes, Warrant, Pink Floyd, Macy Gray, Tracy Chapman, Joe Cocker, Godsmack, Korn, you name them, they have a story here. This venue is where it began for many bands and i'm blown away when i get emails or phone calls from thrilled fans from Belgium or Sweden or Japan or London.
I recently saw Henry Rollins in my neighborhood and he told me how he prefers performing at the Whisky over any other club...he mentioned that the feel of the Whisky is unsurpassed in its melting pot of incredible history. Henry also told me that in the 80's, he was "a scrawny kid" [his words] rustling up change to get into the Whisky and now he performs it. He told me that my now office is where the bands dressing rooms once were. my office is also the room that once housed Jim Morrisons handcarved poetry...this poetry is now embedded deep in the walls of my very office...wow! Henry also told me how he heard stories of Jim Morrison being so excited that he jumped on stage and grabbed Bo Diddley's feet. Again, I'm blown away.
This crazy place, this awesome place, this legendary place, this place where James Brown told me last year to book his wife Tomi Rae Brown and he would jump on stage with her. Mr. Brown joked with me that if i booked him by himself, we would have to knock down the walls from the Whisky to the Rainbow (our sister joint about two long blocks away) because we weren't big enough to house his performance anymore. Mr. Brown said he would light this club on fire...and I believed that. His feet, hot! His music, electrifying and speaking of fire, I saw this picture of my office on fire and the Whisky was shut down for a bit of time. Smokin! I wondered about how many of Morrisons poetic ashes drifted into the ether and circulated throughout the Sunset Strip...I'm blown away. The Whisky is like the kitchen of an inviting home. When you are at the Whisky, you have stepped into "the nourisher" of gathering places. It's just a down to earth hometown venue. There's no hoopla here. No bullshit. No pretention. No holes barred. It's awesome in it's low key yet high powered appeal.
The Whisky is where Slash hangs out in the dressing room and invites you to chill with him as if he has known you forever - like some distant but close at heart cousin. In dressing room number two there chills Perry Farrell and Tom Morello and Slash and Robby Krieger from The Doors and the very next night up and coming local bands get excited to feel their lingering presence...I'm blown away even at the bands being blown away.
I'm constantly celebrating in the magic of the Whisky and the happiness it provides its many guests. Tisa our general manager told me how Motley Crue onced lived in my offices. That my four walls, I come to every day and book lovely talent, was once the apartment of one of the greatest bands that ever lived. The real magic of the Whisky doesn't just happen in stories of yesterday, it's happening right now, night after night. You are the future magic of the Whisky a Go-Go. You are the thing that blows me away most - you are the fire in my office, you are the poetry that is disbursed throughout the Sunset Strip, you are the reason there are cheering friends, family, strangers and even me, there to encourage your performance. You are the flame - the pending legacy - the bands, the artist who one day people will get excited to have stepped on the same stage with or chilled in the dressing room as...you are the magic that gives me the greatest joy in coming to work every day and supporting your music every night!... Or at least as many nights as I can. I will sleep when I am dead is my dear friends motto and I suggest you do the same. work hard. the time is NOW.
I honor you, I respect your talent and I look forward to hearing your stories someday. I look forward to you creating a magical and lasting experience that will live on in the historical pages of not only the Whisky's chapters, but the world's book. See you soon my friends!
Yours, Celina

ABOUT LOS ANGELES ROCK & ROLL. THIS BITTER SWEET HOLLYWOOD SCENE. THIS BITTER SWEET INDUSTRY:
"THESE HOLLYWOOD LIGHTS CAN SHINE BEAUTIFULLY BRIGHT OR BE PAINFULLY BLINDING. EITHER WAY, PUT SOME SHADES ON. TAKE IT ALL IN AND FILTER OUT WHAT YOU DON'T NEED. PERSPECTIVE. TAKE WHAT YOU DO SERIOUS ENOUGH TO BE YOUR BEST AT IT, BUT NOT TOO SERIOUS AS TO STRESS ABOUT IT OR CAUSE YOURSELF AND OTHERS GRIEF. REMEMBERING THAT, EVEN WITH THE SHADES ON, YOU'VE GOTTA KEEP IT REAL. REALNESS - GIVE IT TO YOURSELF, YOUR MUSIC AND ANYTHING & EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO IN LIFE. GIVE IT TO OTHERS. LIVE BY THAT MOTTO AND EVERYTHING SHOULD BE OK! LOVE YOURSELF. LOVE WHAT YOU DO. MOST IMPORTANTLY, LOVE WHO YOU DO IT FOR! MOST IMPORTANTLY, HAVE FUN!"

ABOUT MY WORK:
i'm the booking agent at the the world famous whisky a go-go in west hollywood california.
www.whiskyagogo.com
home of the doors, hendrix, joplin, aretha franklin, led zeppelin, van halen, james brown, red hot chilli peppers, foo fighters, billy idol, system of a down, green day, guns n' roses, maroon 5, the bangles, motorhead, marvin gaye, the killers and more. rock on! hey, i love my job! i have a good life. destiny brought me to the whisky and its passion that keeps me here.
i love quality music of all kinds. a plethora. i love everything from hip hop to metal. actually, i am hip hop and i am metal. i'm all that rocks & and i'm all that rolls. in love with everything with a soul and everything that belts out from the soul. in love with that funk, a bit of blues and a whole lot of rock. all music is good music, if the heart is in it - from country to gospel, from industrial to alternative. i love it all. where there is a beat, there is truth! i love music's ability to transcend and transform. with music, there are no color lines. no barriers - just pure artistic musical expression where life, the breath of music does not discriminate like people do. no matter the genre, you will find music that speaks to you. i love to dream and even more so than that, i love to watch people follow their dreams. it's beautiful to watch bands and artist(s) grow. keep doing your thing and i will do the same...whatever that is and wherever that may be, maybe we can meet there. your energy is really important to me. i care. you'll see & i'll see you soon! hopefully performing on the legendary whisky stage!
YES IT'S TRUE: THE WHISKY IS ALL AGES ALL THE TIME...ROCK ON BABY, ROCK ON!
one of the best unsigned bands...EVER. if only i owned a record label... GO INDIE BOYS!
Who I'd like to meet:
PAST LIFE WORK: everything i've done, every job i have held, has all lead to learning how to love - both you and myself. in this lifetime i've done everything from founding a non-profit to spoken word tours to artist development in the music industry to ghostwriting for artist/bands to celebrity journalism for major magazines (by the way, i covered and wrote nice shit, not gossip). the jobs have been endless - bartender, door security, server, office manager, contracted writer/journalist, the whole nine.
scariest work i did was on myself for about 7 intense months. i retreated and meditated with an incredible tibetan mediation master, turned teacher, turned family... he saved my life. 3 years of living together brought me the greatest peace i have ever known. i have been lucky to meet so many survivors in my lifetime. i love people who endure and i love the people who teach them how to live. happily. i love when people know how to even love again after hurt.
it's a great day when people care about themselves and how they impact others. i love when people speak or sing their truth and recognize that they have the power to change the world... in a good way.
from all the jobs i have held, from all the people i have met i think i understand that waking up, even when it's not easy, is a blessing. meeting you is a blessing. i'm happy to wake up today and waking up the next day and the next day after that is just icing on life's big 'ole cake. know that i'm watching your next bite of that cake and truly caring if you are enjoying it. hoping that i can be a part of your enjoyment and u a part of mine.
PEOPLE MY KARMA WILL HAVE ME MEET:
i believe in karma. i believe that we've all been here before so i'll meet who i'm supposed to meet. i'll meet who i've already met in some previous lifetime - whether that is a kind interaction or not so friendly. everyone is a teacher to me, whether i'm loved by them or hurt by them. whether i love them or hurt them. in my lifetime, i have loved beautifully and i have fucked up royally. i try not to hurt intentionally. i love learning, so bring on my next aquaintence or let me re-visit an old one... i'm unafraid...
ON A PERSONAL NOTE:
of great importance in my life...
i love...
