HI, I'M RACHEL, AND I'M A LIVE MUSIC ADDICT.
Me rocking out to Marc Broussard and the boys on Jimmy Kimmel!
"Music is the last true voice of the human spirit. It can go beyond language, beyond age and beyond color...straight to the heart and mind of all people." -- Ben Harper
Save Me...I'm A Fool For Distraction
I grew up in a small town (3,000 people) in the central valley of California and got out of there as soon as I could. Went to college at Fresno State - partied hard and got a degree in Mass Communication & Journalism. As soon as I graduated I was out of there too - from August 1995-August 2005 I lived and worked in San Francisco, but moved back closer to where I grew up to be near family and enjoy everyday things like owning a car and having a washer & dryer which I went without for 10 years! :)
NEWS! I become an aunt for the first time on December 21, 2007 to my niece Sofia and I couldn't be more excited to have her in my life!
For what I used to call my "real" job, I have worked as a Planning Analyst, Project Manager and Marketing Manager for the past 12+ years, in addition to my involvement in the music world. I'm now taking a break from all of that and am going to pursue the music thing as my "real job" full-time in 2008. And, by the music thing, I mean all of the marketing, promotions, fan interaction and general operations management I do for musicians and bands. And, of course, continue to travel anywhere that I can, any time that I can, mostly to see live music and visit friends. I'm always in search of my next "fix" to feed my music addiction.
I love life a little bit more with each year and can't wait to see what the future holds. I don't wait for things to happen, I make them happen. I'm a no-nonsense, no-time-for-drama kind of girl. If you bring that into my life, I will shut you out. What you see is what you get with me and I respect that in other people. I am so taken aback and thankful for all of the love and support I receive from the amazing people in my life - it rocks my world.
live well * laugh often * love much

Southern Louisiana is near and dear to my heart - please do whatever you can to help them get back on their feet in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina - it's going to take help for a long time, we can't forget about them!
