Back on Track
It´s been a while since I wrote something, and that´s mostly because I haven´t had any good stories to tell. Last year was pretty slow for me, but now I´m back on track. The holidays were nice and calm, just like I wanted them to be, spending time with family and friends. I always thought New Years Eve was... Continue »
Out with 2007
Happy New Year! It’s a fresh start, a clean slate, to become more of who you are and make the world a rockin’ place. I wrapped up my 2007 with some great shows and moments of inspiration including: Social Distortion, the seminal punk band held its annual weeks-long run at the House of Blues, and I was lucky enough...

1 Day For the Earth
Where did the summer go? As Labor Day weekend arrived — bringing with it an unbearable heat wave — I wondered how fast time flies. Although I can’t say it wasn’t a good summer as mine came with some fantastic life-changing moments, including a trip to Berlin where I got inspired by the cool street fashions, the booming art...

Cool Summer!
July and August have been really beautiful in San Francisco, and I’ve been continuing to stay busy with short out-of-town jaunts. Friday July 13th, I went to Vegas again- this time to meet up with awesome SF rock and rollers, the All Time Highs, who played at Vegas’ Dive Bar. I helped the band out with their merch, and...

It seems like it’s been ages since I last wrote anything, but it’s only been a few months, as I have been on tour in the USA and am just about to go to Germany with my band The Hedrons (thehedrons.com). Our North American jaunt started in Canada, where we performed at Canadian Music Week festival in... Continue »
All About Love
All you need is love…it’s so true. So I jetted out to Las Vegas for a weekend to see the show called “Love,” a sweeping, magical interpretation of the Beatles music as done by the twirling, dancing masters of Cirque Du Soleil. With a spectacular feast for the eyes and the timeless hooks of all those Beatles classics, this... Continue »
Difficult few months
Hey Readers! Belated Happy New Year! Again, it has been too long since I wrote anything new. I have a hell of an excuse this time though. My life has been turned upside down. The first week of December, I got the news that my father had died by falling off a 3rd story balcony while hanging Christmas decorations.... Continue »
2007 Already?!
Hello there, Can you believe its 2007? I don’t know where 2006 went. I hope you all had a great rest over the holidays. I managed to get away on holiday for Christmas. Ended up in Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, and it was fantastic. I’ve not had a holiday for three years, so it was just what the... Continue »
Time Flew By So Quickly!
Happy New Year! All I’m saying is where did 2006 go? Well, I know where mine went, into lots of working, hitting some LA hot spots, taking an amazing trip to Italy, and getting caught up in holiday fever! My December holiday madness was capped by the John Water’s Christmas Show at UCLA’s Royce Hall. The “King of Filth”... Continue »
It’s been a while!
Hey coolgrrrls readers! I have been terrible about keeping up with my updates to all of you lately, so please forgive me. I‘ve been spending my time having a whirlwind of fun. In my last update, I told you all I was working 2 bartending jobs, 6 nights a week, so I had no time to play. Well, I... Continue »

Hi everyone! I’m back, still living here in Cordoba-Argentina, after a crazy year! It’s been a while since my last column as usual, so let’s catch up on all things rock here in South America. OK, let’s try and get the bad news out of the way first, because hopefully there’ll be a happy ending. Back in March 2006,... Continue »
Election Fever
There’s a chill in the air around Los Angeles as summer leaves us and falls settles in. There has been plenty going on around town despite the fact that I’ve become addicted to my new online movie subscription and just want to stay home and gobble up documentaries and independent films! I did manage to make it out for... Continue »
