About Me

Photo taken with El Vez @ his "Mexmas" show, Dec 12, 2006The night after we got married (June 19, 1993) we went to see the Cows in our wedding gear! We posed for photos too.
Punk rock librarian. Master's of Library Science from Syracuse University in '93. I work in the big airplane in downtown Minneapolis. I hosted the Rock of Rages radio program on KFAI, 90.3 FM from 1980 through 1991. Was big into the 80's Twin Cities music scene going to tons of shows, having local and national bands on the show. Played in two bands very, very briefly (Wardance and the Alcoholic Tendencies)Still very much into music just don't have the time for the radio anymore. Why not? Well read on... As of this writing (mid July 2006) I have been married for just over 13 years to a vibrant, beautiful, artistic woman. We have two wonderful kids (a boy who is 8 years plus four months old and a sweet baby girl who is 5 and a half months old) Ummm.... I run marathons and stuff. I have been a vegetarian since 1975 (since I was eleven!) so over 30 years now (I am NOT vegan though. I love my cheese!) I quit smoking at least ten years back and am the worst kind of ex-smoker. I despise smoking. I gave up alcohol almost 17 months ago. Current addictions: caffeine (including coffee, Monster energy drink etc.), melted cheese and tons and tons of ice cream (not to mention sex and rock & roll, just no drugs.) I'll add to this later when I have more inspiration. Just trying to throw something down here to start with.Here is my old TCPunk trading card. It is way out of date now!

My Interests

Music, running, eating, playing with my kids, reading, camping, films, farting around on the internets that Al Gore so kindly invented for us blah, blah blah. This is me having my innards eaten by Bill from Impaler in 1984. He still likes liver to this day

I'd like to meet:

Two years ago, the morning of February 24, 2005, I woke up in my bed with all the lights on. I had a splitting, pounding headache and a very fuzzy memory of the night before. I had a huge bloody mess ...

I am the age Elvis was when he died on the toilet!

Don't ask me why I figured it out but I did. Today I am exactly, to the day, the same age that Elvis was when he died on the toilet at Graceland! I have kept my boyish figure a bit better than the Kin...

I Hate my Dumb Job

OK. I don't HATE it, but I am none too pleased with it right now. As you may know the library has had severe budget problems. In their infinite wisdom the administration has decided that every library...
