Beer & music. Reading & playing with wires.
I've met most of my heroes. Those I haven't met have this awful habit of dying before I get the chance. I've still not met my two main musical idols, Mstislav Rostropovich & Heinrich Schiff. I've tried, but when you show up at a hotel during Spoleto slightly drunk w/a two foot mohawk demanding to see Slava, they just call security. Bill Clinton seems like an entertaining person to knock back a few beers with, although I have a better chance w/Roger. I also want to hang out with Rob Wright sometime. We'll probably end up getting in a fight.
