When Emilio approached me for a KARJAKA New York design of his up coming concert at roulette with contemporaneous featuring his collaborative works with composer Michael Folmer Hansen, I immediately thought of, an evening with Emilio Guarino considering I already had...
I was 13 when I got a second hole pierced in my ears. It had been a pretty typical day of school, followed by a trip to the Monmouth Mall with my first boyfriend Zach, accompanied by his younger sister Peri and chaperoned by his mom Stacey. We ran rampant through...
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Sitting in a coffee shop listening to a relative stranger tell her story, I was hooked. The story was the pivot of all pivots in a time when chaos ruled, and a virus had shut down life and seemingly hope... well not entirely. Everyone around the...
