Chronic Leopard Faux Fur Addiction Syndrome

About Me

1970s-oriented DJ dance freak with anachronistic facial hair disorder. I spin what I dig, and I dig the funky sounds from about 1967 to 1983-ish. Mostly vinyl, but I dabble in 8-track, CD, reel-to-reel, mp3, and cassette, when necessary. I may be a cheeseball, but I'm a classy cheeseball. My bad taste is really top notch. Catch me at Bar 107, downtown L.A. with my homie Jon Hershfield. We do a thang called Leisure Suite on the last Saturday of every month. Come dig the grooves!

My Interests

bicycling, bowling, hiking, disk jockeying, photography, Dodge Dart maintenance, sewing, upholstering, cooking, eating, graphic design, sculpting, reading, thinking, performance, funky 1970s music/dancing/clothes/roller skating

I'd like to meet:

Fun, interested, interesting people. Readers, talkers, doers, thinkers. Open, honest, intelligent, and goofy people. People who like biking, bowling, badminton, dancing, roller skating, and skeeball. And getting funky on the dance floor.I don't "get" the cold-call friend request out of the blue. C'mon, send a message first. I'm not interested in padding my friend list with a hundred people I know nothing about.
