Hanging out w/friends, music, concerts, dancing, exploring, traveling - I enjoy visiting cities like Barcelona, Prague, London, Budapest, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, (and of course) New York City and hope to visit Russia (Moscow, St Petersberg) Germany, Japan, China, Ireland and several other places. I like art, galleries, museums, walking, concerts, dancing, music projects, photography, science, philosophy, debating, reading, writing, learning, different cultures, clever ideas, the unique and original, animal rights, "being green" Democrats in the White House, fetish, antiques, vintage analog synthesizers, quality audio and recording studio gear, sound sculpting and programming - esp with synths, mixing and mastering, multitrack recording (Pro Tools and analog), studio design, loudspeaker design, computers - Mac, PC, vintage speech synthesizers, circuit bending, and people with something to say.
- creative, open minded, artistic people who are not afraid of new or unusual ideas. People who are honest, trustworthy, drama free, and actually care as much for my feelings as I do for theirs. People who are able to embrace the future without being encumbered by their past. Someone that is a bit of a social chameleon like me and can jump from scene to scene with grace and ease. And . . . a woman that has a great sense of romance as well as humor.

Anyone who strives to make a difference rather than simply pursue their own self aggrandizement and the all mighty dollar. People not afraid to push against the tide of common sentiment to follow what they know is right! People who are independent thinkers and are politically aware.
