About Me


I need a performance venue.
Does anyone know of any performance art venues in the Baltimore/DC area?

Sunshine Sweetheart.
I am a thunderstorm.
I am wild, anarchic power
A passionate frenzy of cannibalistic emotion
Impossible to capture,
to tame, or to love with fullness and certainty
like a Unicorn.

But easy to believe in.

like my layout?
like my contact table?
