As a self-proclaimed "pseudosocialite" who isn't afraid to rock comfortable shoes or the same outfit twice at Vegas hot spots, Deanna Rilling has been involved in the electronic dance music and local indie rock scene for over 12 years. She typically gets at least one drink spilled on her a night when out and about and usually gets her feet stepped on as well, but it's all in a day's work and she wouldn't have it any other way.
