Years ago, before I moved back to Palo Alto from San Francisco I worked in ad agencies as a freelance copywriter and also had some of my own small clients. In that spirit I toured the then-new store on Ramona and told this woman, who later posed for a photo and said she wanted to be a singer, that I could help the managers of the store reach out to the community, and perhaps get our then-mayor to new a ribbon cutting or appearance. I left them a business card but did not do any work for them; the building is owned by Elizabeth and Jaime Wong, whose project at 429 University I later spoke in favor of. Also, back in the 1990s I briefly dated a woman who split her time between booking rock shows and doing the marketing for the same group that sells its wares at 534 Ramona the former shoe store.  As for “Britt” — if that’s her real name — have not seen her since nor  heard her sing, to the best of my knowledge.

Now that I’ve tagged this “elizabeth wong” lordy look out)
