In true mySpace fashion, I'm going to say that I'm open to meeting anyone who comes across my profile and thinks I sound kind of interesting, cool, hot, or just plain weird ;) I won't defend myself, I'm sure there are plenty of people who find me more weird and oddballish than anything else, haha; I love that! But yeah, I won't bite or anything, so just send me a message and I'll get back to ya as soon as possible! I check this thing a lot (I'm kinda obsessed) and I love to chat about random stuff, so don't be afraid to make some contact :) As far as meeting famous people, I'd mostly want to meet musicians like System of a Down (Daron Malakian, Serj Tankian, John Dolmayan, Shavo Odadjian), Jaco Pastorius, Les Claypool, Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, and my great grandfather Vartan. I've been lucky enough to attend Victor Wooten's bass & nature camp, so I was able to meet Victor, Future Man, and Béla Fleck of the Flecktones (awesome jazz/experimental/funk group)!
