I heart art, film, reading, jazz and music in general, cooking a bit, finding that one cool shirt at the thrift store, writing music, paisley, and argyle. I like going to see my friends play in and within their bands. I love a well written sentence or at least one that tries to be. Come on Sentence, you can do it. If the sentence that's spoken or written goes on and on and I don't lose your point, you win the prize. Hell, you win the prize if I lose your point too. Prizes for everyone! Every once in a while I'll put on a theme party. Next up: Worst Movie Contest, with pot-luck food of course. Recently joined AMC, the American Music Center. If you're a musician, more specifically a composer, I'd recommend it. They send out announcements of composing contests and grants available. Check it out.
