About Me

I'm a lazy philosopher and an armchair politician, someday I aspire to be an expatriate, I've been a cook, a bartender, a hotel GM, a drummer and a music booking agent, now I have my own business running an automated booking and promotional service for the music industry called onlinegigs its my baby and my central fixation in life, it soothes me, it haunts me, it often makes me cry, which is how I know that love exists or at the very least insanity.

My Interests

music is the godhead: filled with late nights, packed and sweaty, shrieking, booming madness while the sun rises and the fugue repeats, vast pilgrimages to pray at the alter of salvation, obscure atonal experimental prog-noise while hob nobbing with improv snobs, and the button down, glassy eyed symphony crowd, neverending mountain fields ripe with acoustic roots and pulsating connections: the godhead is music

I'd like to meet:

conscious people, free thinkers, tech geeks and vision quest gurus, people that know whether they are registered to vote or not, creative people, wanderers, literary snobs, live music junkies
