Sara Bareilles is The Coolest Chick Ever

December 21, 2009 Room 5, Los Angeles If you’ve never seen Sara Bareilles perform, then you’re missing out on more than just music.  You’re missing great comedy, authenticity, diversity balanced with consistency, and the coolest chick ever.  This is why I’m choosing to write about a show that took place last year – because it [...]
