About Me

Performer of many varieties, filmmaker, puppeteer and face painter. One might call me an artist, though I would probably debate that. I think I am more likely just procrastinating the idea of fixing on just one career. Success is scary. Dogs are not. So I spend a lot of time with my dog.

The second episode in the ABC Video Lives series. I try my best to find a housemate. Sounds boring, but it's not. The guys at the ABC kept having to pause the tape to make sure that I hadn't accidentally had a "wardrobe malfunction"...
