Today, I got on a plane bound for a brand new life. At 7am, my dad came in my room and told me I needed to get up or I would miss my flight. My parents drove me to the Toronto airport, the huge green suitcase that I'd had to sit on to close riding …
Category: That Fangirl Life
The show that started it all, by not happening.
It was all supposed to start 14 years ago today. In 2001, I swore off concerts completely after a chance meeting with one of my heroes caused a rift with friends and family. Not wanting to take the chance of hurting anyone again, I decided that I would never go to another show. I had …

#IStandWithLindsey
My Eagles trip was incredible. But that's gonna be a story for another time right now. Time to switch to Lindsey Buckingham fangirling here. I say Lindsey Buckingham very specifically, instead of Fleetwood Mac. Because on my way back home from Eagles dreamland, I discovered my other favourite band did the unthinkable. Fleetwood Mac fired …
Fly, or you’ll turn to stone…
God protect us and keep us safe. This is what I say to myself over and over and over from the minute I get on a plane, through takeoff, until I feel comfortable (or, as comfortable as I can get) at cruising altitude. God protect us and keep us safe. It’s adapted from what an …
And so it begins…maybe?
I had a plan. When the Eagles' massive 2018 tour first got announced, I was brand new to my job. I hadn't had a full pay yet, and wasn't sure if I had calculated my taxes right. I didn't know if it would even be enough to cover the bills, let alone allow for a …
Bucket List: The Birthday Show
The long, long month of non-stop work stress (and work in general: I've been working 6 days a week to meet my goals) has finally given way to my long awaited week of holidays, beginning yesterday with my 35th birthday! For which I got...a wicked cold. Sigh. Hopefully that will subside soon, because we had …
Groupie Origins: Coyote
My world is upside down right now. So this morning I chose to put on a T-shirt that would remind me of my happy place. It also has ties to how I became a coyote. About 3 hours south of me is a gorgeous casino resort called Casino Rama. It's been the site of many, …
California Girl
The other day, an account I follow on Twitter, @beachboyslegacy, asked followers to post pictures if we had ever been to the legendary (in Beach Boys fan circles) Paradise Cove near Los Angeles. This is where the Beach Boys' album cover for Surfin' Safari was shot, which was their very first album way back in …
Detroit Rock Taxi
I have a soft spot for Detroit, I really do. I've been there a few times, and I've always found it to be a city down on its luck, but full of good people. You can tell by the architecture that it was once a grand place, and I hope that one day it finds …
Thursday, July 20th 2006 or: How I Met Glenn Frey in Partytown
Warning: the following story is 100% true, and sounds 100% fake. Really, no matter how hard I try I can never find a more realistic angle from which to tell this story, and I've told it a lot. I guess that's because there isn't one. At a certain point everything just takes a turn for …
