Hi! I'm Jamie, and Music Is My King Size Bed (name the song/artist where that lyric comes from). I hail from the Northern Chicago suburbs. I received my Bachelor's Degree from Indiana University's School of Journalism (shout out to Ernie Pyle!). I lived in Boston for just about 10 years before FINALLY making my way to "The City That Never Sleeps," AKA New York City.
