About Me

I'm not a fan of fast food, but have a soft spot for the late night mexican restaurants in the Mission. I live in the "Marina" but wouldn't consider myself a "Marina Guy". Whatever that is. There's nothing wrong with the stereotype (I don't think so at least - got some friends that fit pretty well)...but it's just not me. I cook a lot. You've probably seen me at Whole Foods, Trader Joes and Natural Food Co. I work in music. Pretty much any area of music. At the moment it's primarily marketing and management. Sure, I'll listen to your CD - but I'd rather see a website. I love the ocean and surf as often as I can. Not sure if I'll ever be a "surfer", but I like to surf. I can't remember the last time I went to bed before 11:00, or slept in until 9:00 on a weekday. My friends would say I'm a nice guy - but that's what friends are for, right? Wait...I am a nice guy! ;~) Chances are, if you know Basquiat, Jeff Buckley or Bobby Flay - we'll find something to talk about. If not, that's cool too...we'll improvise. In my 27 years, I hope I've made more friends than enemies. ************************************************************ ************** .. ************************************************************ ************** YEAH! I DID IT! 565-miles in 7 days. From San Francisco down the coast to Los Angeles! What an incredible time it was. AND I/we contributed over $3,300 towards the over $11 MILLION raised to help fight HIV/AIDS worldwide! Thanks everyone! Check out the slide show! Who's signing up with me for next year? Yeah? Training begins NOW! ;^)Below is a gabcast with a few updates I left from the road while on the ride.

My Interests

www.spinxpress.com/eli

I'd like to meet:

People that understand my humor. Anyone that's up for something new. Recent reviews by Eli S. What's this?

Music:

Good music. I think in general people like good music. Even if all you listen to is Bright Eyes and Taking Back Sunday, or Easy-E and Ice Cube, or Nelly and Brittany Spears...everyone likes good music. You gotta admit that you like SOME country, or SOME rap. I mean, who doesn't know the Boot Scoot Boogie or Bos In The Hood? If you were to raid my CD player right now you'd find The Deftones, Velvet Teen, Easy-E, Shotgun Wedding Quintet and Jeff Buckley. But that changes daily.Mike Relm is an awesome DJ. Check him out live. Can you really scratch DVD?!?.. width="425" height="350" ..

Television:

Law & Order, X-Files, Family Guy, Sopranos, Seinfeld, Friends, Entourage, Flight Of The Conchords, Weeds, Californication

Books:

Bill Graham Presents: My Life Inside Rock And Out

Think of my sister NOW!!!

I don't want to embelish.  But it's something that's been weighing on me a lot lately, and it's starting to affect a lot of what I do.  I've found myself in this big lull right now.  I'...

Today I got excited...

I turned my car around and drove about half a mile in the opposite direction, because I saw a sign off the side of the road for gas priced at $2.75!?!  There's something wrong with that.  Th...
