My Interests

Music, Film, Art and Coffee. Also the occasional live club show and a game of miniture golf.

I'd like to meet:

I met a lot of people I ever wanated to meet a few years ago when I went to the Grammy awards... David Bowie, Prince, Wierd Al.... Um wait... Whatever. And I met the members of Bauhaus and Nine Inch Nails on several occasions on their tour together few summers ago. I met Paige Davis (trading spaces) a while back, I had a HUGE crush on her at the time. Speaking of... I met Evanescence on several occasions on various stops of thier Open Door tour and Family Values. And yeah, there's a story behind that too, but those who need to know what happened, already know. There's a lot of big time musicians that were small at one time, and I got to meet them before they were big. That's always cool. Still, I'd like to meet Nick Cave. Then I'd like to have a conversation with Henry Rollins. Both speak words that mezmorize me for hours upon end. I've met a lot of people in my life. It's a big deal to me. Even though it doesn't meen much. It's just kind of cool.
