I am here for Dating, Friends and Networking

About Me

Although most of my friends know everything about me... Here's a quick recap. Born and raised in the City of Wind. Only Child, but don't underestimate the importance of family. Don't talk shit about my boys, we've been together for 20 years and they've never let me down (Mex-Men). Attended Catholic schools my whole life: St. Maurice (Go Warriors!), Mt. Carmel/De La Salle (long story), and Creighton University (Omaha, NE). Pretty much a normal childhood. I won't act like my sob story is any more tragic than yours... For as long as I can remember, music has always been important to me. I am constantly going to concerts and spending way too much money on cd's. I don't want to seem one-dimensional, but everything else in my life revolves around music. Currently trying to teach myself how to play guitar, which means I should be a rock star in about 2 years. Get my autograph now! I would much rather hang out at a bar w/my friends than bother with the whole club scene. To quote DMB, I make the best of what's around. Anything that I may have left out, you're just gonna have to ask... music layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

If had the chance, I would love to meet Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl and Paul Simon. Considering it is very unlikely I will meet any of my heroes. I guess I could search the planet for some interesting people. As much as I am a music freak, that is not a requirement. If your in Chicago and you generally have a good night out on the town, then we'll get along fine.

Queens of the Stone Age

So last year around this time I posted a Queens of the Stine Age song to get you guys in the mood for Lollapalooza. I don't think it worked b/c only a handful of people were smart enough to attend. Th...

Lolla, anyone?

So the line-up for this year's Lollapalooza (Aug3-5) was announced this week and I'm pretty excited. You would think that answer is obvious considering the headliner is PEARL JAM, but there is plenty ...

Get my autograph NOW

Ok, so a few years back I bought a guitar. You could say I was going through a mid-life crisis about 20 years too early. But my girl left (Damn You Kate, kidding), I wasn't exactly happy with my job/c...
