About Me

"At the Mint tonight more or less distracted drawing on the backs of karaoke request slips, when suddenly a dangerous and raw voice comes a callin' and it's Heather singing goddamn "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Stunning. Really. The bar froze a bit. Chatter ceased and bar tasks went undone so that everyone might enjoy this blastingly sincere rendition. And towards the end of it her voice cracked a bit, but I assure you, chiclet, that the breakage only added to her performance's power. "
