Music in all forms, independent films, biking, running, road trips, world travel
New friends in San Francisco. People who are obsessed with music and find themselves constantly browsing Pitchforkmedia. Cool girlfriends for dinner nights and show-going. Someone who looks for the meaning of life in books, art, and far-flung travels. Oh, and if you like to run, that's a bonus too. If your profile features pictures of you shirtless, giving the finger, or brandishing a fire-arm, don't bother.
