My Interests

All children, all welcome, come into the light... We want a respectful yet expressive crowd. We want to have beer. We want you to have more than another night of 36 TVs showing all the college basketball you DON'T care about. We want to see what kind of spirit this community has. And we want you all to network.

I'd like to meet:

All of yous who can't find a venue for your expression.
Anyone who feels alienated by fashion trends.
A unicycler.
Tom Waits.
Anyone who just moved here.
Anyone who lived here since before they started that damn red brick sidewalk project downtown.
Drummers.
Bassists.
Mandolin-ists.
Joe Frank or anyone willing to perform his monologues.
Jenny Lewis.
Anyone in this area who is looking for something besides State Street.

Television:
