- About Me:
- I grew up in Sherman TX....did a few years of college at UNT in Denton, and then moved to Dallas for 8 years where I waitressed, bartended and found myself in an improv sketch comedy group called Random Scam. In 1982, I moved to LA with my best friend, Tina Robins. We had created a female comedy team called Robin and Robins and my fondest memory was meeting Robin Williams and asking him if he wanted to join us and be Robin, Robin & Robins because it would help his career.
Tina and I dissolved our team after about a year and I went on to do stand-up on my own. I toured the country for several years and when I was in town, I taught comedy traffic school. I was cast in one movie....'Killer Tomatoes Strike Back"...(see video clip) and one TV pilot...."Nut House' directed by none other than...Mel Brooks!
Eight years and I wasn't famous, I decided to chuck it and move to Washington, DC and change the world. I worked for the National Organization for Women (NOW) and the Empower Program...and performed on the Scandal Tour Bus as Nancy Reagan and Gennifer Flowers. Lots of great stories from these years if you ever want to take me out for a drink and listen to them all.
In 1996, I moved back to Sherman to care for my mother in what would turn out to be her last year. Great experience being with her for that year.
I moved to Boulder after she passed away 10 years ago and ran an educational organization for 5 years. I started dreaming of opening my own business and even had the idea for Rockin' Robin's a year before I decided to make it happen. I knew my concept that would include the jukebox and dance floor would be a winner.
The singing in a rock band actually came after I opened the store and started calling myself Rockin' Robin. I just decided to adopt the monikor because I love rock and roll music so much. But finally realizing my dream to sing in a band was and still is one the highlights of my life.

We have to let you know that we could get into trouble with the FAA if we don't get the permission of the property owner. If they were to get upset or disapprove of us using their property we could get fined or worse, like lose our Letter of Authorization to commence in festival rides. If it's not too much trouble can we get approval from the land owner? We normally put the letter in our packet that we bring with us to all festivals just in case of an emergency or if someone asks us about using the property.
Please let us know what if anything you need from us.
Thanks,
Cinnamon
I am planning on attending. I always enjoy the reunions. Look forward to seeing you. Tell Mary and Bill they need to come while they are still ambulatory ( I think that's the right word for still being able to get around without help).
