Interests

  • General

    I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love movies, dancing, hiking, and traveling when I get the opportunity. My sister and I go to the Michigan football games together, and there is not much better than some good ol' college football rivalry - especially in the midst of all of the fans in Michigan Stadium on game day. GO BLUE!! I also enjoy watching hockey - not only the Red Wings, but my two young nephews.

    A recent passion - as you can probably see from my profile - is attending concerts, and I've come to realize how much I enjoy concert photography. If you would like to see some of the pictures that I've taken, click here to check out the sets on my Flickr account. I hope to showcase this more on my page. If you would be interested in helping me make a banner to direct people to my photos, let me know.

  • Music

    Music has always been a large part of my life. I enjoy listening to a variety of music - but especially 30 Seconds to Mars, Nine Inch Nails, Kill Hannah, Envy on the Coast, Innerpartysystem, The Urgency, The Sunstreak, Paper Rival (formerly Keating), As Tall As Lions, Kaddisfly, Our Lady Peace (and Raine Maida's new solo material), Incubus, 311, Sting, Bush, and others depending on what mood I'm in. I love dancing and enjoy club music as well as house, techno, industrial, and some hip-hop.

    I also enjoy early music/classical - favorite composers/works include: Bach (esp the Brandenburg Concertos), Chopin, Mozart, Vivaldi, Josquin des Pres, Arvo Part, Handel, Barber’s Adagio for Strings, and Orff’s Carmina Burana. I've had the privilege of seeing many amazing performances from some of the world's finest orchestras, chamber ensembles, and recitalists over the last twelve years because of UMS - experiences that I am so grateful to have. I can't say that jazz music is a favorite, but I have a deep appreciation for it, especially Wynton Marsalis/Jazz at Lincoln Center and a fun local band The Macpodz, who have brought jazz to life for me in a new way. I also enjoy Afro-Cuban jazz, Latin jazz, and some vocal jazz.

  • Heroes

    Using the term "hero" is tricky, because to me it seems to mean someone that you idolize. But I've found that it is unwise to put people on too high of a pedestal. But I definitely respect and admire my mother - not only for all that she has overcome, but because of the kind, generous, and caring person that she is in spite of it all. She is one of a kind, and I am so fortunate to have her in my life.

About me:

About My Profile Name: The first part (Elizabeth) is self-explanatory ... and yes, I do prefer Elizabeth, rather than Liz or any of the countless Elizabeth nicknames out there. I like my name just as it is :)
The second part (Echelon) refers to what got all of this started -- it's a lot of things, but primarily it is the street team for 30 Seconds to Mars. It's the reason that I created a MySpace account in the first place - which is why it is rather heavy on band promotion, but over the summer I hope to spend some time to redesign my page to showcase a lot of the concert photography that I do.
And the third part (streaker) refers to another street team for a band from Rochester, NY called The Sunstreak. I love those guys ... and the entire ROC gang!

About my profile quote:.. "So what's the craziest thing you've done lately?" It's a lyric from "Crazy Angel" by Kill Hannah - another band that I adore. The lyric is quite fitting due to all of the crazy road trips and grand adventures that have become a big part of my life over the last couple years. I've had a number of people call me crazy - most often with a smile on their face - but still, I would agree with them, and generally do. But I wouldn't change any of it. I've had so many amazing experiences and I have met some truly wonderful people that otherwise would have never been in my life. I am so thankful for the opportunities that I have had and look forward to the future with anticipation of what might be ahead on the horizon.

Who I'd like to meet:

I love meeting new people ... and reconnecting with people that I haven't seen in quite some time. There is something special about those interactions - and you really never know what will become of those encounters. I most enjoy meeting people with a strong creative side. I find that they really inspire me to step outside of my usual comfort zone and tap into my own creativity - something that I don't explore nearly enough. But really I find that I tend to get along well with anyone that I meet. I try to find that common ground that we share and make the most of the interaction.

30 Seconds to Mars on MySpace

It probably won't take you long to discover that I am a rather large fan of a particular band - 30STM - in fact, I'm a proud member of the Echelon. In attending several 30STM concerts across the country (and beyond), I've not only loved the opportunity to interact with the band, but also other members of the Echelon who come to support them. This is a slideshow of pictures from one of my first grand adventure excursions - a trip out to Denver and Salt Lake City. It's a weekend that I will never forget - mostly due to the people that I had the chance to meet.



I have had many other grand adventures that have given me the opportunity to connect with some truly amazing people and other bands that I doubt I would have connected with otherwise. So I look forward to continue this journey and meet up with more cool people and talented musicians.

I'm like holy crap first the urgency now them! haha anyways im pretty sure i have at least one person coming with me, but if not i'll definitely letcha know. :) any idea what time would be good to get there? i dunno if they would close it off once the room capacity is met or how that works since there's no tickets to regulate it

    haha thats interesting. Sort of a bummer that they won't be using any lights cause they had a pretty sweet light show... hhmm they're also doing a show in cleveland on wednesday, and im off work at 4... maybe i'll go to that one too hehe And yes I'm definitely going to the free show. Trying to bring some people with me too since my friends are usually too broke to pay for tickets. Not sure what time i'll be there but the venue site says 9pm so maybe around 8ish

    are you doing anything on the 7th??? Paper Route is playing at the Magic Stick, and according to the venue website, the show is free... I don't know why, but that's what it says. I'm going to either call or email the venue to make sure I'm reading that right though haha You should come!!!
