Very eclectic tastes...most artistic endeavors interest me, acting in all its forms, currently obsessed with poker, love and use many computers (hip geek), golf, tennis, video games, gadgets, live music, my cat, good friends, good conversation, good food (group the last 3 together - brilliant), cooking (with others is especially fun), thrift store shopping, the beach, hiking, broomball, tarot cards, astrology, tantra, meditation and most metaphysical junk, juggling, movies (seeing them and making them), theatre, art, love, adult swim, good tv, falling for someone, politics and philosophy, fashion, style, las vegas, travelling, singing in the car, interior design, finding the perfect chord, getting my back scratched, pursuing self-actualization, pushing the limits (within reason), people watching, dive bars and swank joints, meeting interesting characters, curtain calls, and anything else that comes my way.
Suprise me. I mean, what does anyone want? Friends who are reliable and real, and a lover who is loyal and honest. Other than that, there's all variety of cool personalities. Of course, some similar interests and beliefs are a bonus, but I'm always willing to engage.
What can I say? I love music, always have, always will. Playing it, listening to it, diving into it, getting lost in it...Music is life's most pure form of expression IMHO.
I've had bands and have lots of musician friends as well, so I have been to LOTS of live shows over the past 13 years in LA. And they're all REALLY GOOD...seriously. If I ever take any of you mugs to a show, you know you'll hear good music and be entertained. And to promote a few of those people:
The Gluey Brothers
King's X
Michiko
Danny Peck
Michael Sherwood
Circe Link
The Four Postmen
Presently, Danny Peck plays every first Saturday of the month at Genghis Cohen on Fairfax and Melrose. Starting at 9:30 PM, cover is usually $7.
I had previously been obsessed with Mike Doughty, former lead man of Soul Coughing, which I also love. But now I'm in music limbo!
Fav band ever, Pink Floyd... do I listen to them much anymore, not really. If you know who King's X is, I'd say they are still one of my go to CD/MP3 at any given time. I have 80 gigs of MP3's, everything from show tunes to hardcore industrial to classic rock to 80's pop to jazz to ... But I am always looking to expand and find more great music...this is and invitation...
Come on, this is too tough! As with music, I love film. I watch them, I act in them, I direct and edit them. Here's a couple I made:
