My sculpture, Untitled 2008
Elise graduated from UC Davis with a B.A. in both Art Studio and Dramatic Art (Theatre). She was one of the first major contributors to the Davis Wiki as it was forming. She worked at The California Aggie for three and a half years, first as a staff photographer (winning the CCMA Best Features Photo in 2005) and later as a copyreader and Features Editor. She was always all over town with camera in hand and sometimes a giant 300 mm lens balanced on her shoulder as she biked. It's very likely you might have seen her covering sports alongside her friend and fellow photographer, Wayne Tilcock, photo editor of the Davis Enterprise. She might be one of the few citizens of Davis to have been granted access to the Crocker Nuclear Lab in order to photograph the Cyclotron for a California Aggie story.
She was a good friend and neighbor of Rob Roy, and the two were likely seen in the '05-'06 school year filming a music video at The Grad, Rob wearing the infamous giant teddy bear suit. They also attended Rock It back in the day and sang a pivotal duet of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" at G Street Pub among the likes of Ravenous. They also went to Cantina (aka Mantina) one night and sang with Lamar Heystek. She was seen photographingJason Webley and Rob at their performance in Central Park in 2006 and seen with Webley at The Bomb Shelter, sewing a whisker and/or fin back onto his stuffed catfish doll. She was later seen with Webley and friends in 2010, eating at Fuji's, Elise having hosted some of Jason's friends overnight at her house venue at the time, The Greenhouse, after they played in town.
For two years, Elise served on the editorial board for Produce (Book). If you had walked through the Art Building circa 2006 and observed real produce hanging from all over the ceiling, it was Elise's doing. In 2007, she and 200 others participated in the Davis Undie Run. The same year, she and 822 others participated in Davis' World's Largest Bicycle Parade.
Elise directed and acted in two short plays as part of the Dept. of Theatre & Dance's 48-Hour Theatre Festival. In 2007, you might have seen the wizard battle that she and some friends staged while in line for the midnight premiere of Harry Potter V at the F Street Regal Cinema. You might have seen her as a spectator of the first Epic Quad Battle and been charged by her, a friend, and an inflatable crocodile at the second Epic Quad Battle.
She wrote the play Ghost, Bathtub, Windmill, which was performed in the Wyatt Pavilion in 2008 as part of the ThirdEye Theatre Festival. She acted in the American premiere of Nights at the Circus, also at Wyatt, and would've appeared in the play Antics had she not fallen ill. She has done voices for Davis Radio Theater on KDVS and was an announcer for the Picnic Day Parade in 2009 with Dr. Andy Jones. She appears in the 2009 and 2011 KDVS Fundraiser videos. She is responsible for The Bathtub Experiment. She was a participant in Delta Lambda Phi's annual Davis Is Burning in 2008 (as Eli MeDown), in 2009 (as one half of Death Cab for Penis), and 2010 (as a tattooed, happy trail-ed male glam rocker). She occasionally read poetry at Poetry Night while it was still being held at Bistro 33 and read a few of her poems on Dr. Andy's Poetry and Technology Hour on KDVS.
Elise helped paint a small portion of the Uncle Vito's Slice of N.Y. outdoor mural. She has a permanent mosaic panel in Nature's Gallery Court, located at the far west end of the Arboretum. The "gallery" was created as a project under the hospices of the Art-Science Fusion Program and features ceramic depictions of drought-resistant flora and their companion fauna. Elise's panel features a rose and a butterfly and is the only panel featuring a mammal, a Corgi enjoying a sniff of the rose. A less auspicious "public art" creation of Elise's is a small octopus drawing on the wall of Studio A at KDVS. She hosted "The Pharmakon" under the DJ name "The Drag Queen of Hearts" on KDVS for the Spring 2009 quarter. Retaining her DJ name, she co-hosted "Skinny Dipping" on KDVS in Summer 2009 and hosted live music acts at The Pink House, The Greenhouse (alternately called the House of Dog), The Attendance Office, and over the airwaves of KDVS.
She worked at the SPCA Thrift Store from July 2007 through August 2008. She worked as a graphic artist for The Davis Enterprise from April 2011 through January 2012. In 2011, she helped with what was called the Community Build, the revitalization of The Domes when they were under threat of demolition. In addition to digging new hugulkulture garden beds across from Domes 8 and 9, she did some planting and boulder arrangement in front of said domes. She also helped prepare the pathways in front of Domes 10 and 11 for compaction and did interior as well as exterior window washing. Also part of the project, she helped put the finishing layer on the Domes Bench, next to the Domes' yurt. Additionally, you can see the double rainbow mosaic she created on the back lefthand side of the bench. It features colorful stones, bottle caps with a mountain motif, and broken glass from her car window when it was vandalized in Midtown Sacramento not long before the Domes build occurred.
Though she no longer lives in the area, a piece of her heart remains in Davis.

2007-02-15 14:09:22 I think the co-op idea is the best route, as the decision to close has been made. Right now we are working on getting the cash to get it off the ground —AndrewPeake
2008-04-01 21:37:37 Yes! I was so in love with that Sadler lecture today as well. Thanks for reminding me of the rad quotes from earlier. By ttthhhhheee way, are you in the metals class or no? (Mr. Professor Billsss called your name with no luck of an answer) It's going to be a cool class I'm fairly sure... —JasonDunne
2008-04-16 15:16:32 Hey, I dunno if you've taken tom before, but he's no fan of structure, so we're working on whatever we wish. I'm all over a messy-wire-copper-bike cable-coil semispherical ball right now. It's so fun and tedious. My friend Julia is doing an indddepenendndnent study with him; she comes in after her class ends at 11 and it seems to work out just fine. Hey it might be too late - but if you want my notes for Sadler's class (I type them on the computtter) email me at jbdunne ATTTTTTT UCDAVIS DDDOOOT EDU. I'm stoked 25 times/minute at each lecture. —JasonDunne
2008-05-12 01:56:12 How about if you put those pictures of the Coffee House and Freeborn Hall facilities on their respective pages or on one and link it from the other? The name of that page is pretty long so editors of the wiki are unlikely to remember it or link it by accident. —NickSchmalenberger
2008-11-06 20:52:16 Can you post the letter from Student Housing regarding the Bike Church? —JonathanLawton
2008-12-18 18:27:39 Why did you remove the thing about MarieHuynh from Fry's Electronics? It had a link in it and I think more links that aren't spam are probably a good thing. —NickSchmalenberger
2009-01-12 17:06:53 So I did a bit of research in Shields about the history of the building that now houses the Bike Barn. I found a map from October 1911 that showed that the building that is now the Bike Barn did not exist. However, the building that is now the Silo is on the map and it is labeled "Cow barn." The map has the call number G4364 D3:2U6 1911. I also found a map from 1923 that does have the building that now houses the Bike Barn. It is labeled "Stock Judging Pavillion." The call number for that map is G4364 D3:2U6 1923 M3. It sounds like whoever told you that the Bike Barn used to be a dairy confused the main Silo building, which could have been built in 1910 (since it shows up on a 1911 map) with the Stock Judging Pavillion, which could have been built in 1916 (since it shows up between 1911 and 1923 on the maps). —WilliamLewis

2009-06-08 23:05:39 elise recommends a slippery-silver soldier sword, wandering off on a ziggurat-tremor and never to rely upon any sleeping pillow pills again. —JasonDunne
2009-07-02 08:48:43 Now wait a second... you can not create an entry about a house whose color is in dispute and not put up a photo of it. ;-) —JabberWokky
2009-10-14 15:08:37 Hey, Elise. I added the dates/times for the House of Dog shows that I got from the websites you posted, but maybe you can check it out to make sure I posted the right dates. They sound great. —robinlaughlin
2009-10-22 13:22:26 RE: An Evening with Olaf: I don't have that information. I suggest calling the DPNS and hopefully you can find someone that knows. There is a poster on the Davis Food Co-op Bulletin Board. If you come to the DavisWiki BBQ this weekend, I'll give you one. p.s. your sculpture, and it's shadows, rocks... —SteveDavison
2010-02-01 08:57:39 Elise, I would like to feature you in Davis Life Magazine, seen at www.davislifemagazine.com. Contact me at [email protected]. Thanks so much! —CaryArnold
2010-05-21 18:11:03 If you want to use # in a page title, you can use either small number sign (﹟ unicode 0xFE5F) or fullwidth number sign (＃ unicode 0xFF03). You could also use a music sharp symbol (♯ unicode 0x266F) or a viewdata square (⌗ unicode 0x2317), but those technically mean other things. —WilliamLewis
2011-02-14 17:10:16 In my opinion, your name is the second coolest in all of Davis, after Dagon Jones of course. —ScottMeehleib
2011-02-15 13:38:00 I like your name because of its phonetic structure. Your first name sounds gentle, but it's also very elusive. Like the many florid, feminine names such as Elizabeth or Alicia, one expects yours will flow on to further syllables. But no! Your name refuses to conform to such boring standards, and it instead abruptly terminates, leaving the listener disoriented and in a mild state of shock. And then, when you least expect it, you are struck by the mightiness of KANE: beginning with the hard slap of the consonant, thus birthing the powerful drag of the long A-sound, in turn fading away with the resonant hum of the N.
In conclusion, I'm pretty sure that the secrets of the universe are locked up inside your name. Or maybe I'm full of it, as people often tell me, and it just has a really nice ring to it. —ScottMeehleib
2011-05-11 07:21:37 Yay photos! Thanks for adding all those. —TomGarberson
2011-06-10 12:53:36 Great photos of the Yolo Fruit Stand! —JabberWokky
2011-07-13 09:20:00 More great photos and gnoming! Thanks! —TomGarberson
2011-07-18 21:30:37 Thanks for the edits to Lily Starling Massage Therapy! Looks great :) —LilyS

2011-07-26 16:02:45 Heya, whats The Cake House? —TomGarberson
2012-01-01 22:42:22 Great menorah pic and Hanukkah page! —CovertProfessor
2014-01-12 16:22:58 You posted a picture of room 185, of Hickey Gym, would you happen to know how a club could reserve that room? —DanielPfister
2015-03-21 03:42:16 Elise, I have bad news: unfortunately, nobody's added an auto-draft save function yet, so if you haven't saved the page then the in-progress edits are lost. Some browsers save this on a crash, though, so you may want to explore that. I hope someone will add auto-draft saving in here soon! Im really loving all of your stuff here lately! It makes me want to bust open my old photo collection and see what unposted historical bits I have laying around. —PhilipNeustrom
2015-03-26 22:47:16 Zac of All Gone. —JabberWokky
2015-03-27 17:02:46 While I've found the new software much harder to navigate and follow changes on -- which I'm hoping is purely due to my being used to the old way -- I have been very intrigued by the change in what kinds of spam and oddness appears on the wiki, and in what format it now takes. It seems to be much easier to create pages for people, judging by the new silliness tending to be new pages. —JabberWokky
2015-05-06 22:46:03 The "they state that" awkward wording was either mine, or somebody copying my wording. I never liked it, but it was a quick and easy way to turn first person promotional text into a reasonable wiki writeup about the subject. Your "subject's belief is that" is a much more pleasant method. —JabberWokky
2015-05-06 23:01:14 Greater than and less than signs typed in comments seem to silently disappear -- or, more likely, just become HTML. I had typed (subject), only with "angle brackets", the greater than and less than signs. —JabberWokky
2015-05-19 00:45:35 Hey Elise! I have a question about the Ag Effort at UC Davis! If you could please reply as soon as possible that would be great :) thank you so much! —1975savannah
