I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a rock and roll guitar player with my NYC band "Patti Rothberg". My website is www.pattirothberg.com, where I also have an online portfolio of my artwork. I'm a painter and freelance illustrator and my favorite subject is (YOUR) portrait. I love adventure, and don't like the idea of boundaries, (which I guess means I have to say I like the idea of boundaries as not to be confined by the idea that I don't like them.(!) Here are some things I love off the top of my head: I love kitsch, especially 60s, 70s and 80s stuff.. I love rock and roll, Missing Persons, the Ramones, AC/DC Runaways, Frank Zappa, Led Zeppelin, The Darkness (bien sur), Violent Femmes, King Missile, Maggie Estep, Holly and the Italians, B52s, Glam Rock David Bowie (many a guy who looks good w/ make up on), my friends' bands: Big Sister, The Beautiful Dreamers,.. too many to mention. I am also really into random things like anagrams, crossword puzzles, knitting, and the movies Xanadu:), Times Square, Dog Day Afternoon.. I don't think there is a link between these things that I like that I just thought of, but gimme a minute and I'll find one! I'm also really into star gazing, and have been known to pull over on a dark highway to see some shooting stars. I also love camping, beach parties at night, having fun with someone and not feeling uptite. That rhymes, maybe I'll write a song again (?) fantasy layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments
