Oh, you've got to mulch -- you've got to.

About Me

A slide show about caucusing in Nev.
.:Photojournalist from Philly, living in Lake Tahoe (Incline Village, NV), blogging at RunVMC.com Blog
.:I like to ride bikes.
---Surly 1x1 single speed mountain bike
---I miss my fixie road bike. A LOT.
.:I like watching punk rock bands perform.
All time favorite live bands:
AVAIL (and/or Tim Barry solo)
Strike Anywhere
The Roots
Sick of it All
The Supersuckers
Hot Water Music
Metroplex
.:I love good beer (usually an IPA), a neighborhood pub (Union Jacks in Manayunk is still the best), a great jukebox, a dart board and great friends.
.:I love throwing parties, for good reasons (i.e. wiffle ball, Lance Armstrong, season changes, neighbors, Dennis Lui, and because I know great people), filling the party with my coveted, eclectic music mix.
.:I enjoy playing guitar/bass left-handed.
.:I formerly ran a small sign and graphics business (Silver.Cat.Studios www.theSilverCat.com ) specializing in the independent music community, small businesses, and non-profit/social organizations, and run on principles of social and environmental consciousness. Poetically, Phoebe, the cat after which the business was named, passed away shortly after I moved and abandoned the business. She was an amazing cat.
.:I'm still very helpful and skilled meeting the needs of the above.
.:I dropped out of Temple University twice, eventually returning after a five year hiatus, and getting a BA in journalism, and a minor in anthropology. I honestly love that school, couldn't say enough good things about the quality of education, and miss it terribly.
.:I can be reached in a plethora of ways. Start with a MySpace message if you don't know of any.
