About Me

I want to become a professional vagrant. I also want to go to Japan, real bad. I have recently fallen in love with Portland, OR, and at the same time, I have fallen back in love with the east coast, in particular, Baltimore.

I try not to take anything too serious. I have found that persons/things that are too serious suck at life or suck the life out of you.

But I don't want to end this section on a negative note, so how about this... I love this site!

My Interests

Music, traveling, writing, hanging out with amazing people, booking shows for sweet, sweet bands, going to Baltimore shows - especially shows at the Ottobar, a crazy board game called Heroscape, nerding it up on the interweb. Other interests include staying up way too late and having conversations that aren't simply small talk.

I'd like to meet:
