It’s on! The dates have been set, and the plans are in the works for the 2009 Nikita Chickita.

Courtney Sherwin is an ahlivv girl through and through. A native of Florida, she never surfed. She ran track, wore daisy dukes, and was a cheerleader for a couple years. She spent all four years of high school as class President. In college, she transferred nine times (Boston, Florida, Colorado Schools), waiting for the light bulb and that “a ha” moment where studies and social life melded into the perfect cosmic union. (Not sure that exists, but Court was positive that somewhere out there, it was waiting for her).
