Bands and other performing acts touring in and around Denver, CO. Not from there? That's OK. Have a new release? Let me know. Photographers, writers, other creative types for a variety of ongoing media projects... fashion designers, roller-derby burlesque queens and filmakers can also reply--I'm sure we have something in common. I'd also love to meet Floria Sigismondi.

I miss Rollergirls on A&E, call me a geek. I am also known to watch The Shield, Survivor, Lost and CSI. Oh and let's not forget Iron Chef, which is great in Japanese, but does not quite translate into English. Recently I've been watching the re-make of Battlestar Galactica... wicked cool.
Elmore Leonard, James Elroy, Raymond Chandler, Andrew Vachss, William Gibson, Douglas Adams, HP Lovecraft, Kathe Koja, Joyce Carrol Oates, etc. I read mostly crime fiction/detective stories and horror with the occasional history book/true crime volume thrown in and the odd Vonnegut. I've been reading Chuck Palahniuk of late, he reminds me a little of Vonnegut. Neil Gaimen's "American Gods' is the best book I've read recently.
David Bowie, Evel Knievil, Johnny Cash, Tank Girl
