About Me

MERCH GIRL FOR HIRE! Contact me for references.
I've been the editor of Enslain Magazine since 1997. I feel most at home in a mosh pit or at a metalfest, and I love to tour, and to travel across the world for a good show. When I can, I promote shows, tour manage/merch tours, and help out in any other way possible.
Apparently, I also like to play host to starving artists/tours, with the help of my mom's basement (and hospitality) and my uncle's beach house in Ocean City, NJ.
I'm a great person to have on tour - I love to help everyone, with everything; to be a tour guide and a travel companion; to fix problems and create solutions; and I can party like one of the guys, and out-chug most dudes (with the exception of a few Swedes). Hire me... we'll have fun. But partying always comes AFTER the work is done.
What else... in the Winter I'll go snowboarding every time I have an opportunity. In the Summer, I long for the beach. I like to do things... swimming, tennis, roller-coasters, taking trips everywhere. And I LOVE Las Vegas. Best place EVER.Edit: SECOND best. Helsinki, Finland is THE fabled promised land. Seriously.
I'm impulsive. As fuck. If I want something, I will go for it, regarless how unatainable or unreasonable it seems, and despite the consequences. Everyone thinks I'm crazy. I think they are.
I'm generous to a fault, and enjoy taking care of people that I care about. I'm completely broke, and perpetually in debt. As soon as my bills get caught up, I realize that I've been too long without a vacation/adventure, and one always seems to find me. My current goal is to one day work on a European tour, so, naturally, I'll stop at nothing to make this happen. And it will, because of my strong force of will.
I'm not very complicated, but I'm completely confusing. I don't understand it either.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I already met him. And his funny-looking pants.

Introduction to Finland; Finding and defining "home".

There was a particular moment in my hungover / exhausted / anxious trip on the ferry from Stockholm, when it finally occurred to me that I had entered Finnish seas.  I had awoken from eight hours...

What happens when you stop searching...

... and start believing in forever? Pain, longing...  Fear of loss; broken dreaming.  All the comfort, happiness, and peace that should be associated with the attachment to this idealistic t...

The convoluted process of budget expatrition and exploration.

If it wasn't bad enough that I've barely prepared myself for a life-altering transatlantic voyage into the mostly unknown... I will be setting the precedent by the sketchiest of travel plans I've ever...

Finnish Immigration : Chapter 1 : I got my residence VISA approval!

If you know me at all, you're aware that stability is not something that appeals to me very much.  I'm too young and adventurous, and with too many stories left to tell. This weekend, I got an un...

Vitek, my friend, you are missed.

Unreal.  23 years old, so full of life, of joy, of love.  All taken away in a flash.  Why someone so sweet, happy, with so much to live for?  Why someone that a young family was de...

On the road with Finns... downloading pre-releases of Finns..

It must be said, I LOVE To/Die/For.  Musically, I have ever since around '99, but this is a different kind of love.  They are the sweetest bunch of foreigners ever, and I just want to keep t...

Last month, I invited the devil to stay at my parents' house.

And most of you now know this evil incarnate as Dennis.  Yes, this man flies over from Sweden to stay with me for three weeks and see the country.  So polite and innocent was his disguise.&n...

Not going on tour in May.

I don't even feel like writing this blog.  I've been waiting almost a year and a half to find a tour, I find one, I work like hell at it, and five days before it begins, I have nothing to show fo...
