About Me


I am an angel corrupted by the heart of the devil. The depths of my soul you will never understand. Drink deep of my vision and see that you are nothing...as is everything.
I like going to concerts and traveling. There is nothing that sounds better to me than a road trip...especially if there is a concert at the end of the trek. I've met some amazing people in my travels and and seen some truly crazy shit happen. I wouldn't exchange the experience for anything.
I'm Native and I'm proud of my heritage. I may not be as involved with it culturally as I used to be....but it is something that will always be important and close to my heart. For anyone who is curious...I am Choctaw.
I love spending time with friends, and I love making new friends too. My friends are my family. NEVER hurt my family...my wrath is not something you want. I'm the girl that you can call at two in the morning because you need someone to talk to. I'm the girl that you can call because you're lost and you need to get directions. I'm the girl that is known by all...but really only known by a select few. Ego? No....but the reality of honesty is typically brash.
I like to wear crazy clothes and go out dancing...and at the end of the night headbanging to some good metal.
I AM the girl that your mother warned you about. I've been known to make good kids go bad, but in contrast I've also been known to make bad kids go good. I guess it all depends on how you like your poison.
One thing that I believe in above all else is supporting good music. Thats why I encourage everyone I meet to support your local scene, regional and underground scenes. Theres always something good out there..all you have to do is open your eyes and see it....open your ears and hear it.
There is a reason that the first 14 in my top friends are bands. Especially the first one...they're the guys that made me want to get involved with the local scene in the first place. Some of the bands I work for...some of them I have done work with....some of them I am just huge supporters of...but all of them are good...and worth checking out. So why don't you click on a name and give them a listen? AND....if YOU are a band that is looking at coming through Oklahoma City...why don't you check out Wirlwind Productions or Big Papa Productions?
Music is my constant companion...the electricity that keeps the blood pumping through my veins...take it or leave it...never forget it. I'm a musician...a photographer...a merch girl...a spare roadie....but NEVER a groupie.
I've got a metal heart with the soul of a hippie. No, you don't understand that, but watch carefully and you will.
Wirlwind Productions recently took over a club formerly known as the Blue Fox. We have renamed it Rock Lounge and have live music every weekend and sometimes several nights through the week. We have some of the best beer specials in town and cater to every audience that likes to ROCK OUT!!! Tuesday nights are Horror Movie night. Most weekends I'm running the door and I'm usually out on tuesdays as well. Come out and say hi!! We are located just west of NW 10th and Meridian on 10th Street.
Capturing moments like this is what I live for:
Aaron Korstjens of Horse Called War @ the Diamond Ballroom June 22nd, 2006
Matt "the Lord" Zane of Society 1 @ The Key Club March 11th, 2004
Ronny Paige formerly of Five.Bolt.Main @ the Hive February 5, 2006

Movies:

Television:

I don't watch much TV, but when I do it either on the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, or some other educational type thing....or on MTV2 or VH1

Books:

I'm big on dark Fantasy novels. I like anything by Michael Moorcock or Mercedes Lackey. I also enjoy the writings of Aleister Crowley.

Heroes:

My friends and family, they have impacted my life more than I could ever explain or show.
People who think outside of the box, the ones who don't settle when life tries to hand them a piece of shit...they throw the piece of shit back and tell life to fuck off.
My dad for putting up with me my whole life, for being not only a badass dad but a great friend. For ALWAYS encouraging me to chase my dreams and helping me so much along the way...even if he knew that whatever I was going after wasn't going to work. For driving me to all those concerts before I had a car...and for always making sure I was safe.
My big brother Mike...for always pushing so hard in everything that he does and never giving up faith in me.
my best friend Jerry for keeping my sanity for me when I couldn't or can't. for all the late night phone calls sharing grand visions of what we can accomplish...and then the days that follow when we actually see it all through.
my bro Aaron for being that bit of support that keeps me sane. For being an amazing lyricist and proof that there are still amazing kind hearted guys in metal music.
Virus....never before have a met such a kind hearted man...and I doubt I ever will again.
Matt Zane...I've learned a lot about the industry (good and bad) from him.
Heather Rodgers of Broken Lady 3 Photography. Her work is amazing and inspires me to reach for my full potential.
