This started out as a random experiment in using WordPress. However, a couple of years ago I decided I wanted to manifest my love of rock music into some tangible expression. I challenged myself to write a review of every concert I see. This has been an awful lot of fun, and more difficult than I imagined. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-96\" title=\"captured on Logitech webcam\" src=\"http:\/\/www.girlbandgeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/picture-6-1.jpg\" alt=\"captured on Logitech webcam\" width=\"224\" height=\"224\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Writing about music in a way that doesn\u2019t suck turns out to be pretty difficult, at least for me. But having to write about each concert I see forces me to pay attention in new ways, research the artists more fully, and relive the experience. I will probably never be as brilliant at music writing as the music critics I admire, but as I said it enhances my concert-going experience, and gives me an outlet for my literary aspirations.<\/p>\n<p>When I am not watching or writing about bands, I work as a System Administrator for a large company. I live in the woods near Santa Cruz, CA with my wife, two children, and various pets. I enjoy playing the guitar, listening to hot girl bands, and spending time with my family.
