EDUCATION/CAREER TRACK: Bachelor of arts in journalism, University of North Texas, 1999; Night and Day Editor, Dallas Observer, May 1999-Nov. 2005; GuideLive.com since Nov. 2005

MOST UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE ON THE JOB: Receiving hundreds of phone calls when my office number was accidentally listed on an escort ad; squelching my fear of clowns long enough to interview Slappy from Slappy's Puppet Playhouse.

SOMETHING PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME: I hold a 25-year grudge against llamas – all of them.

IF I HAD TWO SPARE HOURS, I WOULD: Finally transfer my photos from the processing envelopes into all those empty photo albums I own.

I AM ALWAYS ENTERTAINED BY: Elvis Costello, Eddie Izzard, This American Life, astrology and my cats.
