Ashley Dawn Ekstrum
The Guru / The MVP
If you're down to hang with any cool cat from the Southside of California (and I mean the coffee shop), my top percolated pick for a caffeinated get-together is Ashley Dawn Ekstrum. You can find her snowboarding at the bottom of the world, singing to diffuse the tension at the top of it, and somewhere in the middle she'll be burning the skin off her nose to spend all day in the sand and surf. On top of that, she's the one person in South America you can count on to be there for you. Whether she's saving your ass or your life on a mountainside, or holding the vodka at the house party so that no one falls under the sway of Dr. Strange love and Captain Beefheart—one who's got a beef to pick and the other a strange love to give—you can be sure she's helping someone, because she's always got something higher on her mind. Whatever she decides to do in this life—writing, teaching, healing, rescuing—she's gonna end up saving someone. She may be a Southern Californian, but she can go where even Idahoans and Coloradans fear to tread, which probably stems from the fact that her heart's so big, it could house all the horses, cows, sheep, and drunk farmers of a barnyard dance, and three, fine young chickens besides.
