I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My name is Katy St. Clair, and I enjoy concentrating orange juice. But other than that, I am a writer who writes things that are supposed to be journalism but are actually the masturbatory ramblings of a malcontent. My column in the SF Weakly is called "Bouncer" and it brings me much joy. If you too enjoy it, please do become my friend on MySpace, but PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE too. If you just ask me to be your friend without a message I might assume you are a spammer; in a shitty band that you want to promote; or on the make.Anywho, back to me. I wrote a story about how retarded people love Huey Lewis and it just may be my ticket out of this place. I am currently working (ha! right) on a full-length book about how truly amazing retarded people are, but if you dont want to wait-- ney, CANT wait any longer to see what I have to say-- I'd recommend picking up last years' Da Capo Best Music Writing Of The Year edited by Mary Gaitskill and in that thing you will find my Huey story. I also recommend the stories in there about Bushwick Bill and christian rock.I work at Thee Parkside which keeps me in touch with the young folk, and I have gotten my old job at Amoeba back...only this time I helping them write their online music encyclopedia.I recently finished a story about Abba and the Bee Gees, and the bloody fued betwixt Benny and Barry, for a book about rock n roll rivalries called Rock and Roll Cagematch: Music's Greatest Rivalries Decided. In October I will be making a second appearance at Litquake for their music writer's showcase. Show up n' heckle!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Someone who will recognize my Better Off Dead allusions.
