About Me

impatient, restless, impulsive. notorious for "pulling geographics": boston, chicago, italy, LA, new york, san francisco...now i'm living in providence with my main man Niels.
nocturnal, nostalgic, loyal, sarcastic, somewhat agoraphobic. keyboardist in legendary boston bands: Drezniak, the Cheapskates, Godbox, and the all-star 70 Sex; i tour occasionally with My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult as the Bomb-Gang Girl, Arena Rock; i co-produced Thrill Kill Kult's "Hit & Run Holiday" CD.
in NYC i managed a nonprofit used bookstore cafe in soho and worked for participant inc., an alternative art gallery on the lower east side. a repetitive strain injury killed a long copyediting career...now i'm embarking on a new career saving old buildings.
in my free time, i'm fixing up our 1873 second-empire victorian house, gardening, and participating in the occasional 18th-century revolutionary war reenactment. i'd like to play music again, but when and with whom remains to be seen.
hobbies include collecting diecast japanese robots from the '70s and '80s (remember shoguns?), collecting and reading books about secret societies, esoteric philosophies, and UFOs, lusting after mid-60s Chevys, learning all i can about airships (like the Hindenburg), and finding the key to immortality. seriously.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

creative nonconformists, mad scientists, people i can relate to, people to write music with, worthy scrabble opponents, fellow bocce enthusiasts, and someone who will teach me to ride dirt bikes. oh, and hugh jackman as WOLVERINE.
