EPISODE 8 - KD Kinetic (Performance Artist)

In this week’s episode, we have KD Kinetic, Performance Artist/ Makeup & Costume Extraordinaire, for various concerts, events and performances around Austin. Katie even spent time at New York’s world famous “House Of Yes” that is home to an eclectic style of music, dancers and circus acts, all in one nightclub. While Katie wears many hats (literally and figuratively) she leads the charge with LGBTQ activism in her community and civil rights.

Katie and I discuss her FEARLESSNESS when she embodies any costume, why she leads the charge on so many causes, and what to expect from her 24 hour LIVESTREAM, Saturday, December 19th from 2pm-2pm Sunday!!

EPISODE 7 - Nicole Jackson (Fyre Festival Episode)

The time has finally come!!! The FYRE FESTIVAL EPISODE! Introducing someone who has become one of my BEST friends, concert buddies, and music festival adventure partner, Nicole Jackson. Nicole and I met AT Fyre Festival, the world biggest luxury musical festival flop, put on by Billy McFarland, and rapper, Ja Rule. By now, you’ve seen some kind of production about this festival, but never someone’s FIRST HAND experience, which I had the pleasure of being on the first flight out to the Bahamas, and connected with Nicole out of the 500 or so people that actually made it TO the festival.

Hear some of the stories that the documentaries never told, the TRUTH behind the infamous cheese sandwich, how much we ACTUALLY paid for our tickets, and how we finally managed to get off the island back to the US.
