Democrat and Chronicle, 1995:

Radio in her cubby - Digital - 2026

A small pocket in the South Larks. Metallin walls, notes, scavenged parts, half-working machines, textpaks. Aurelia "Radio" Villajeros, one of KOATR's main characters, tinkering with cheap tech in her cubby.

Something about seeing these guys so clearly on the stage lit very dramatically with my own eyes in real life, these guys whose music has stuck with me through the best and worst times of my life, literally thousands of hours of music throughout the years, hearing a chorus of people in the audience sing along to the songs the same way I would and did, and just seeing how they're normal looking guys you'd see at the grocery store and they're having a great time making music really made me want to aspire to greater things.
