Hello, my name is Crystal and I'm a 22 year old musician. I was born and raised in Florida until I was dragged to east Texas when I was 16. I've been in Austin for over 3 years and I am absolutely in love with everything this city has to offer. Im openminded, liberal, and free spirited. I smoke, I drink. I don't care if you dont like it. I have 2 tattoos and there will be many more.

living. loving. learning. experiencing as much as possible. taking chances and making mistakes.

I'm not one to brag....

Everything I want to change in this world we live in. Where I'm going with my life. The person I want to be. The person I am.

Creekside Lounge, Barton Springs Saloon, Red 7, Jackalope, Barcelona, Sidebar, or a Metropolis party.

If there is a good live show, I'm there.

maybe some other time....

If you have an original personality, opinions, and a free spirit. I want to meet a total optimist. Somebody worth meeting. You should learn something from every person you come in contact with.
