This summer, Alina and I spent a week in Chicago so she could attend Girls Rock! Chicago, a day camp for girls who want to be in a rock and roll band. They heard concerts every day, had three to four hours of practice, workshops on how to print t-shirts, promote their bands, music and social change, and at the end of the week got to perform and The Metro (a famous Chicago venue for live music) and record their original song at a professional recording studio. It was a really amazing experience for her and we had a really good week together hanging out in Chicago. Here she is with her band, Coronation Road (Alina has the black guitar with the pink and black strap). We've been waiting since July for the camp pictures to be put online and they just showed up today. There are lots more at the Girls Rock! Chicago flickr page if you're interested.

Hey!!! This is cool beyond words. Suz- you are my hero! I wish I could go to rock camp too. ( ;
What an awesome idea for the young women of the world to create something like this together.

Very cool! At the Bend Film Festival last year I saw a documentary entitled GIRLS ROCK, which was about the rock & roll camp you guys went to. There was a band from here in Bend that had been to the camp and they performed after the movie showed. It was really inspiring.
How awesome that you took Alina. Bravo!!
