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...

Vegas Rockabilly / Bands
Hey Coolgrrrls Readers! Since April, I’ve had some really fun, exciting experiences that I’ve wanted to share with all of you. There is a lot to catch you up on, so here goes. First, was the 10th Annual Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Convention, held Thurs Apr. 5- Sun Apr. 8! Viva Las Vegas is a yearly event organized by... 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 »
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 »
New 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 little time left for play. ... Continue »
A new direction
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 new plans for my future.... Continue »
Music 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 Francisco again. I met a... Continue »
Fashion, 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 a red carpet, klieg lights,...

Autumn 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. On Friday Oct. 28,... Continue »
Mexico 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 my update as normal, focusing... Continue »
Gay 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), but it seems they... Continue »
Broadening 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. The part that blows... Continue »
Loving 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 by all her fellow CGs... Continue »
Longing 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! And I’ve been so bored... Continue »
Vegas 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 to put together, yet they... Continue »
Free 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. Thereason it was free was... Continue »
Dalty / 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 I got some bad news... Continue »
Missing 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 few and far between. I... Continue »
