About Me



I'm that guy you see DJing at Drink Ultra Lounge on Thursday nights. Perhaps you requested a song only to have me never play it and now you think I fucking suck. Perhaps you are dazzled by my wide assortment of ties. Maybe you see me tooling around in my 1976 van that I like a lot. Sometimes you might see me performing with my band, LSDudes. You may have watched my show on the local public access channel during the 90s, Nothing TV. You may have observed me standing in line at Meijers a number of times as well.
I think many things are cute and won't hesitate to say so. I think unicorns and kitties are both cute. A unicorn with a kitty riding on it's back would probably be the cutest thing of all. Especially if they had matching sweaters too. That would create an Area of Concentrated Cuteness (ACC).

My Interests

Staying alive and seeing what happens. Creative activities, even ones that seem utterly pointless and never make a dime. Creating music, video, printed matter, things that can hang on a wall or play from a speaker or beam out of people's tv screen. I like making things and I like fixing things. I like things that have a style of their own and not reproductions of current trend. I like my humor dry, sarcastic or surreal. I like cheap liquor that does the job. Someday I'd like to drive my 70s van off a cliff with "Wheel In The Sky" blaring.

1970s home movies

Here is some 8mm film that was taken by my long-deceased grandpa that I got from my long-lost brother, which was left behind by our estranged mother. It's kind of cute. If you like things from the '7...

Invisibility is a bunch of bullshit

I was in a really boring meeting today so while everybody was sitting there running their mouth about who knows what, I pondered how invisibility might work. Unfortunately, I don't think invisibility ...
