Shiow-Jiau Yung apologizes in advance.  Because you might be in the same karaoke bar someday, and she’ll probably do Meat Loaf.  Or in case you’re ever riding your bike on the lakefront, and she yells, “On your left!”  When she’s not being a public nuisance, she’s a producer at Chicago Public Radio.  She’s grateful that her family has a tremendous sense of humor.  And she sends special thanks to her friend Kirsten.
