I'm a current New Yorker, originally from Oak Park, IL, a suburb of Chicago. (And yes, we're actually next to Chicago as opposed to the folks from Springfield that say their "a suburb of Chicago") Anyway, I've spent the lat 4 years here in NY, studying Classical Voice at NYU. I have a passion for art, opera, theatre, music, food, cooking, movies, and tv, along with a pretty sarcastic and down to earth wit. I hope to help or at least entertain a few people with my writing.
