Besides doing lighting design and surrealist square dancing for off, off Broadway social surrealist erotic cabarets, I edit an arts/culture magazine based in Oakland CA, am struggling to learn the guitar (plucking away haha)... singing...starting to do photography. Assignment 1 from a beginning photography class elicited comically bipolar reactions: One (female) student gushed: 'That's great! Wow!! You're an Artist!'; a male student, meanwhile, chastised me with these words: That's not appropriate for this class!
YOU ... If you're of generally sound mind. Artists, musicians, creative types especially welcome (including but not limited to... writers, attorneys, morticians, nurses, therapists, actors, waitresses, ambulance chasers, dog catchers, grocery clerks, hedonists, brain surgeons, ballroom dancers, exotic dancers, rising stars, fallen angels, tarnished saints, luminous sinners, Polly Anna, Femme Fatale... In other words, I'm catholic but not in the religious sense!
Muscially, I swoon schizoid to everything from Sinatra to Nirvana: Elvis, Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys, Who, Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, R.E.M., Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan, Dead Can Dance, Celtic ballads, Deus Machina (Our house band at the theater I'm involved with) not to mention old blues, jazz, folk..
