03-Dec-2010Cool 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 outRead More…

17-Mar-2007Difficult 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 balconyRead More…

25-Nov-2006It’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 timeRead More…

01-Aug-2006New job(s) and shows!
Hey Coolgrrrls readers. So far, it’s been a gorgeous summer in San Francisco. There’ve been lot of fun things to do, and I’ve tried to do as much as I can make time for. Unfortunately though, I just took 2 jobs bartending 6 nights a week. Lately my schedule is full of work, with littleRead More…

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I have written, and I am so glad to finally have the time to update you on all the things that I’ve been enjoying. I have had a super busy spring. I went to Europe for 2 weeks, left my miserable job, and have all kinds of newRead More…

14-Feb-2006Music scene recap
Before I get into my update, I want to thank my fellow Coolgrrrls for voting me the Coolgrrrl of the Year for 2005! It’s nice to be appreciated and recognized. 2005 was a whirlwind of great shows, my crazy life, and a sheer joy brought on by the fact that I live in San FranciscoRead More…

02-Jan-2006Fashion, movies and parties!
Since fashion and music have always gone hand in hand, I’m beginning this column with the latest fashion news here in San Francisco. On Thursday Nov 16th, there was a VIP Opening party for San Francisco’s first H&M store on Powell and O’Farrell in Union Square. This party was off the hook. There was aRead More…

19-Nov-2005Autumn shows
Hey Everyone! Summer is over and Autumn is upon us. For Halloween, the weather here in San Francisco was just beautiful—warm, sunny and mild by day, and absolute perfection by night. I’m sad to turn the clocks back and let the darkness creep up on us every evening, but it’s that time of year now.Read More…

25-Sep-2005Mexico and Punk shows
So much has happened since my last update. I want to start by saying that none of us can really believe how Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city of New Orleans and ruined so many lives. This is a terrible tragedy for the residents and their families. I hope it doesn’t seem insensitive to write myRead More…

29-Jul-2005Gay Pride and Gigs!
Recently, I went to a show at a small hole-in-the-wall dive bar called Kimos. I used to go to this venue frequently before I moved to LA in December of 2004. Since I have been back in San Francisco this year, there haven’t been many good shows booked at Kimos (due to constantly changing bookers),Read More…

11-May-2005Broadening Horizons
I am loving living in San Francisco again, but my life is very different this year than it has been in the past. In some ways that is good, but in others, it kind of blows! I am working full time at a Commercial Construction Company, which is nice, as far as steady pay goes.Read More…

19-Feb-2005Loving SF again!
Hey everyone. I want to start out with a couple of announcements. First off, I became the new Editor of our Coolgrrrls website a few months ago. (So if you see some heinous mistakes, I am the one responsible!) Also, I wanted to congratulate Sabine from Germany for being voted CG of the year byRead More…

27-Dec-2004Longing for SF!
Hey Everyone. I have been keeping myself crazy-busy lately, going back and forth between San Francisco and Los Angeles. I went for a visit to SF in mid November, and had such a great time that I realized I need to be back there. I am so happy when I am in San Francisco! AndRead More…

23-Oct-2004Vegas Rockaround
Hey everybody. This year’s 2nd Annual Las Vegas Rockaround was an absolute blast. I had a great time last year, but there were more people this time, and it got even better. I don’t know how Tom Ingram does it. He manages to organize these fantastic events that seem like they would be nightmares toRead More…

17-Sep-2004Free shows!
I had one of the most fun weekends I have had yet in Los Angeles recently. I was able to see 2 free shows, 2 nights in a row, and both were great, amazing bands! First, on Friday September 10th, I got to see Zeke play a free show at the House of Blues. ThereasonRead More…

21-Aug-2004Dalty / Back in SF
Hey readers. I’m still like a fish out of water out here in LA. I can’t seem to afford to go to a lot of the shows I want to see, and I have been out of work, and looking for 7 months! I have been missing the music scene in SF, and then IRead More…

09-Jul-2004Missing SF
So I have been really slow in writing updates since I moved to LA. I think partly due to the fact that I am not loving the music scene here so far. I mean, I’m the kind of girl who can make my own fun, but good shows here are either high priced, or fewRead More…

24-Apr-2004Busy times!
Hey everybody! A whole lot has been going on. So much, in fact that the prospect of sitting down to catch up and write it all makes me want to do anything but! Okay, I am going to buckle down and get it done cause I actually have people waiting for it! I’m going toRead More…
