Shannon

I am part of the fabulous group of writers who launched and probably continue to be our...well...quirkiest writer. I grew up reading Lester Bangs, Richard Meltzer and Hunter S. Thompson so compared to my influences it could be a lot worse.
I also write for AbyssJazz Magazne and will be contributing to the fabulous new JazzSeries.com blog when it goes online later this spring. I do freelance writing, podcast production, quick promo blurbs and some cool MySpace pimpin' for musicians I love. After all, they've done a lot for me. Like kept me sane.
I have a "daytime job" but my other passion is teaching group fitness classes. Anything cardio - kickboxing, step, boot camp, strength training, etc but my first love is Zumba. I started out in dance fitness and the Zumba craze has a lot of people shakin' things they didn't even know they could shake. Music is supposed to move you, emotionally and physically, and dance fitness lets you do just that - dance your @$$ off without having to worry about how your hair looks. I teach with the lights low and the music loud.. ********** Oh, did I mention that I am a total NFL addict. Obviously the Jaguars are my favorite team. Not being monogamous as a fan my other teams are the Packers and Raiders, the teams I grew up with before we got our own. Yeah, not much fun watching the Raiders recently but loyalty builds character. Sigh. ******
