A Festival of Conviviality

Drink More! I'm feeling a little discorporeal.

About Me

I am Suburban Bohemia. Caught between the drawing powers of Boulder and Denver, I fight a nightly battle against a social life. All the events that I imagine actually participating in usually end up on paper or tape as evidenced below.
Current written pieces
1 book: The Wasted Generation
1 play: Apeiron
a number of scripts that are unfinished or unpolished
at least 80 short stories
virutally all the stories are viewable on my livejournal once you've sifted through the other trash and treasure.
These days I'm also pretending to be a filmmaker
