DOS Funeral
Last show ever at the Department of Safety tonight. The Microphones, LAKE, Karl Blau, and Arrington. This is going to be so bittersweet. I am not at peace with the ending of this place, I don’t feel like “it was time.” All ages music advocacy and the founding purpose behind the DOS isn’t something that fades away. The fire department building was a building that encased an...

Every dream I have ever had about music, creating and sustaining creative spaces,...
New Year great so far
The new year has been amazing to me so far. I still get occassional thoughts of him, but I know that not being in a relationship is the healthy thing for both of us, even if it is hard. I have been so preoccupied with school, music, and friends, I’m really enjoying just living my life and thinking about myself! This month I am the What’sUp! Magazine pinup artist, and it has a whole...
