Radio update: Got a question? Here's the ultimate answer. LISTEN to The Letter Girl. Three women in a ground breaking Chicago rock band, The Letter Girl. I've known the drummer, 'Dre for about 4 years. Right when I plopped out of high school and had no clue what to focus my study on, Andrea Marvel came along. She's a wicked copy writer in Chicago. We both had the same English teacher named Gio at Lowell High-- he introduced us at Schoops (burger place) knowing how much I love to write he introduced her as my mentor. She gave me advice. Real advice to go for it. Write about condensation forming on a plastic cup. If the passion is there, says 'Dre do yourself a favor and jump into the work place of a copy writer. So I got myself an internship with an Ad Agency called "it's not important" on Michigan Ave. The point is Andrea got me motivated to fucking throw myself into the water. I learned how to swim. I called a fuck ton of ad agencies, and landed the gig when I was 18, then got a job at the same agency after the 3 mo. internship. Bam. Life was changed. Dreams were met. I walked around in Chicago like it was la la land. I loved walking towards the river to have a date with 100 bubbles floating in the air. Strange but so familiar. The slow dance of life holds a pulse before me, in the land of Chicago. Fast forward a year, Andrea and I are still friends and get bi-monthly breakfast visits together at Georges or a dinky restaurant in the middle of no where on 41. Here I tell her my problems as a young, weird adult. She laughs, reassures me I'm not an idiot. We move forward. This radio interview was a result of finagling 3 internships since last meeting Andrea. She helped make motivation happen. The radio industry will surely fucking benefit from airing The Letter Girl -- Highly motivated females doing what they love. Everyone loves that shit. Listen again if you haven't already. Time moves forward, it's just a matter of what we do inside all this time and space. These women have decided to dominate the rock world with fierce raw grooves.
