About Me

By day, I work for a large university here in Philadelphia. By night, I am a music junkie (indie/alternative and punk are my favorites but I like many other styles as well) and writer for bigtakeover.com. Most of all, I love going to see bands. I also like food, film (mostly documentary and indie), discussing local, national and international politics, the New York Mets and going to the local farmers' market. I used to live in New York but now I live in Philly with my awesome girlfriend. I'd like to meet other like-minded folks.
