Continued from page 1

She wore a summer dress and combat boots, using her tattooed arms to strum and shake her electric guitar with command and grace. Both the ballads and rock tunes she sang energized the crowd, as Diaz smiled and winked throughout the night.

Then, as if I wasn't already in love with her, she sang a Selena song to me. (Fine, maybe not to me specifically, but a man can dream!) Her rock cover of "Si Una Vez" completely won me over.

And as a testament to the power of the band's influence, they allowed a nice gentleman to take the stage and say a few words. "Would Brittany Martinez please come to the front?" said the visibly nervous lovebird. "I just wanted to know if you would marry me and stuff?!"

She said yes, and the band serenaded their proposal with the love song "El Monte."

And with that, my love for Girl In a Coma officially reached maximum adoration. I know, I know... it's really serious.

Personal Bias: I'm equally enamored and terrified around strong, beautiful women with tattoos.

The Crowd: Chicano couples, straight and lesbian

Overheard In the Crowd: "I wish I could bring her home with us!"

Random Notebook Dump: Another successful Lunaface show.
