making the people laugh, righting my wrongs of wrongy wronghood, daydreaming about January 20,2009, karaoke, taking polaroids, improving my pool game.
I'd like to meet:
That dude with the hat. That lady with the scarf. Christopher Guest. James Brown. Bill Murray. Robert Altman. Robert Evans. Oliver Platt. Nick Hornby. James LeGros. James Spader. Gus Van Sant. My old friend Tom H. . Eddie Izzard. Allison Anders. Donald Roller Wilson. Wes Anderson. Paul Thomas Anderson. Loni Anderson. The Fat One of the guys on the Andersen's Pea Soup sign. Your sponsor's mama. ------------------------------------------------------------

BANDS REQUESTING AN ADD: Don't push it. If you really do sound like Pavement, Spoon or Smog, OK. But don't be all "We sound like a mix of the Stones and Bowie, so you'll totally love us!". ------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------If you are an individual with a wish to add me to your list, and we've never met, interacted or communicated in any form, perhaps a note would be in order explaining whatever inspired you to enter the sacred bond of superficial internet friendship with me, beyond a mad grab for many many people on your list. As unlikely as it sounds, I really have met most of the people on mine. What I'm saying is - SEEMINGLY RANDOM ADD REQUEST = WRITE ME A NOTE!

Tom Waits... charismatic story-teller with a
penchant for freaky people and unusual
settings. You thrive on the concept of the
underdog coming out on top.
