P.S. - For some behind-the-scenes intel… Rachel and I have been friends for twenty-five years. We met at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. We’ve partied, we’ve laughed, played hours of tennis, travelled together, and she and her drummer, Craig, drove across the country to San Francisco and crashed on our couches so they could play the 2am show at The Utah.
