About Me

i like music and stuff. and woodchuck. and indy films. preferrable all at once.

My Interests

i like playing acoutsic guitar, i like frisbee golf, i'm a movie buff, i like paying bills on time, i like mexican food and anything with carbs, i like dogs not so much cats, i like bands that rock and good songwriters.

I'd like to meet:

other musicians, people who like frisbee golf, folks that really dig music, people who live in the same region, etc

Music:

i like aggressive acoustic guitar players that are inventive and good wordsmith's. ani difranco, monte montgomery, mark curry, david wilcox, ellis paul, the proclaimers, don conoscenti, del amitri, lyle lovett, and all the independent bands out there working themselves silly for very little.

Movies:

i like indy films, period films, sci-fi and anything not forced through the hollywood template machine.
