Aisha Reads Anything: A Short Story by a Friend
I’ve known Romana Guillotte for yeaaaaaaars…since college when we met during an odd Valentine’s Day party at a mutual friend’s apartment. I think we sat around a circle reading excerpts from salacious romance novels? Long after that night, Romana got an MFA in Screenwriting and has had her short stories published all over the web.…

Why I’m Learning Musical Arrangement
In almost all things in life, I’m extra. I could just plunk out some chords on the piano and spend 80% of my time finessing the vocals, but that wouldn’t do.

From her first “Tiny-Ass Desk” callout that became a running joke, she had the audience in the palm of her hand.…

Spotify Playlist: Agony, Agony
I like making playlists based on feelings, sounds, stories, genres. I thought I’d share some with you. Hopefully this will become a weekly thing. This playlist is built around Melissa Etheridge’s “I’m The Only One” after replaying it twenty times in my car post-swim. I’m not in the place to scream-sing this to anyone, but…

I did eet!
It’s not an understatement to say that last night I made all my dreams come true: performing on stage to music I produced, to words I wrote, in a show I produced. All the clichés are true, too. It was a long road filled with bursts of inspiration, mired in self-doubt. You have to believe…
