About

My name is Mackenzie, but most people call me Crigger or Criggs. When I was moving to Japan in 2006 I threw a going-away party for myself and called it Criggerpalooza. After that, I tried to throw a Criggerpalooza once a year so I could see all the people that I love. Criggapalooza has since become this wonderful mixing together of people from all different parts of my life, and this is exactly what this blog is– A mashup of all the things I love– Appalachia, politics, art, fashion, funny stories, travel, cooking, the beach (I live in California now), Bourbon (I am from Kentucky), sewing, family, yoga, friends, sports, etc…

Enjoy the Palooza 🙂
