so when you call up that shrink in beverly hills, you know the one, dr. everything'll be alright....

About Me


I'm the owner and operator and peon of Black Widow Promotions, booking and promoting bands all over Michigan and beyond! But I'm not fond of Texas. I'm in love with snakes of all kinds. I want a motorcycle pretty bad but I'm poor because I spend all my money on tattoos. I hate traffic and ICP juggalos.
I'm also the manager and booking agent for Lansing's own Sin Theorem , and the new manager of Bloodletting ! If you are interested in booking them or playing a show with them, email me with your contact info and let's talk. I'm also a freelance promoter and booking agent for a select number of other Lansing-based bands. Drop me an email if you're interested in them too.
You can also contact me through AIM at jessicabwp for BUSINESS RELATED DISCUSSION ONLY. All other inquiries as to whether or not I'm single and what I like to do in my free time will be blocked with a nod and a smile.

My Interests

Black metal, viking metal, death metal, progressive metal, ambient metal, doom metal, 80's metal, power metal, industrial and electronic music, music and video production, snakes, pirates, tattoos, motorcycles, live shows, Norway (and the rest of Scandanavia), bonfires, Russia, physics, metaphysics, movies, magic, and people who want to book good bands at good venues.

I'd like to meet:

Musicians and tattooists, booking agents, promoters, up-and-coming bands, club owners, anyone who needs bands booked and doesn't suck. If you're easy to work with then I'll like you. A lot. But I'm not cuddling anymore.

PLEASE don't post general advertisements in comments. You're welcome to post a flyer for your show in or near Lansing (or elsewhere if I know you personally), but one is enough please. I'm getting really, really sick of having to clean out my comments of events in Las Vegas and nightly specials at bars in Indiana and 4 copies of the same flyer. I'll delete all of them, and if you keep doing it, I'll probably remove you altogether. It's ridiculous.
