I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Raised by wolves in a community theatre, I have traded this whimsical existence for life in "the real world." Alternatingly serious and a bit goofy, I find my personality enables me to fit in to a variety of social groups.

My Interests

Movies, Live Music, Theatre, Dance, Guitars, Amps, Vintage sound gear, All things Irish, U2, Cheese, Antiques, Farmer's Markets, Cooking, Quoting movies, Goofing off . . . the list goes on.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who shares an interest in music, guitars, old audio gear, etc. Industry people (music and lighting) who would like to network. Always looking for diverse and interesting new friends.

Music:

U2, Overhang (my friend's band - check them out at OVERHANGonline.com), Umphrey's McGee, Eddie From Ohio, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer (he's not just a pretty-boy pop star - that guy plays a mean blues solo!). Really I'm all over the map on music: Blues, Rock, Funk, Soul, Good Pop, Bad 80's music, Grunge (not the new recycled wanna-be garbage - early 90's). Zeppelin, and The Stones all the way to Toto and Norah Jones.

Movies:

Braveheart, The Lord of the Rings (Special Extended Editions ROCK), U2 Elevation: Live from Boston, The Princess Bride, Waiting for Guffman, Zoolander, Tommy Boy, Groundhog Day, Forrest Gump, Glory, Saving Private Ryan, So I Married an Axe Murderer, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, any Kevin Smith film, Pirates of the Carribean, Stevie Ray Vaughan: Live @ El Mocombo, Schindler's List (finally out on DVD!)

Television:
