Jeff Tapia (of the kick-ass Seattle bands Rat Queen and Razor Clam) was probably least likely to be voted Prom Queen. Many years later, Jeff (who goes by they/them) is still thinking about high school, and that's OK. So am I.

Rachel Ratner of Seattle band Wimps is a musician, songwriter, vocalist, ten year veteran of KEXP and a web developer, to boot. She’s also the creator of the Seattle Band Map, which is why I call her “a true DIY punk rock connector!”

There's plenty of "sound guys" out there in the world, but Emma Staake is not one of them. I met Emma a gig in Seattle this past April (she was the "sound gal" for the show, and she did a smashing job at it, too).

Making the internet magic seems like an impossible task. Not for witchy wombyin Jessie Covets and Dina Lockridge, who cast spells of empowerment across the web.

Also, I reveal how often I brush my teeth, wear pants and despair while working from home.
