About me:



Who am I? I answer to "Hey, aren't you that one girl...?". I do the Slug Festivities Guide on 94.1 KSLG-FM and host the weekend mid-days, 10am-3pm, as well. I'm also a lot more than that, but if you wanna know, just ask. I have very few secrets (and my blogs are where you can find the best dirt on the on-going Seinfeld episode that is my life).
Check out my radio station: KSLG.

If you're in a local band that wants your shows on the Slug Festivities Guide, e-mail me the info... MySpace messages tend to get buried in my Inbox.
If you're a touring band that's coming through Humboldt, hit me up... if you send me a CD, I'll try to play it on my show. It's what I do.
Other interests:

*Rock Chick Designs. My jewelry design company, such as it is. My favorite media are used guitar strings and guitar parts, guitar picks, and vinyl records. Call it a recycling project, more than anything else.
*My bass (with which I plan on re-bonding once I graduate from HSU).
*My 1980 Vespa P200E. She's kitted to 213 c.c.s... yes I can take her on the highway.
*"My" bands... see my Top friends. I love these bands as musical entities and as human beings. I'm very maternal about them... the Scene Mom, I suppose.
*Being a full-time Journalism student at HSU, as well as working in radio, freelance writing, and being a freelance photographer. Yes, I am a little bit nuts.
*Being a media whore *ahem* media professional. I like attention... I can't help it. Everyone's gotta be good at something.
*Rock Chick Designs--I make jewelry out of music-related findings... from guitar picks to upcycled guitar and bass strings and vinyl records. Check out my Etsy store, Wildwood Music and Shipwreck for bracelets, earrings, keychains, ornaments and whatever else I come up with.
*Music is my life.



Who I'd like to meet:
Green Day, Jamie Cullum (DONE!! 10/22/06), Joe Strummer (R.I.P.)
