Anne Vickman has always had a passion for music. She started her career by writing CD and show reviews in exchange for concert tickets — which is, incidentally, how she discovered Gwar. And since nothing pairs better with music than a good beer, she spends plenty of time trying craft brews, hitting up local package shops and heading to brew fests. Vickman also loves practicing aerial arts and wants you to know that decibels add up over time, so you really should wear ear plugs.
