Ada Lann - SF Writer
Ada Lann is particularly upset to not have been born at the right time to be in England in the 70s, and at the forefront of punk rock in tiny dingy London pubs; but, has learned to get over this with the help of a lot of whiskey and repeatedly bashing against the wall while listening to London Calling. Ada is quite fond of painfully loud shows, warm alcoholic drinks, and making fun of hippies. Now a San Francisco resident, Ada is excited to watch as the local music scene revitalizes itself.
