    Stefanie: Time is Just All At Once
    Nov 14 2021

    Wherein we reflect on the influence of music when you discover it on your own or with women friends. Deadhead Girl Stefanie talks about living in San Francisco in the 2000s, studying art at Jerry's art school, finding her "chosen sister" in the Dead community, and celebrating ourselves through dance. We talk about the scarier sounds in the music and learning to trust that beauty will always return.
