My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Good bands from DC, people from DC or nearby DC. We are not interested in people who will never come the the lounge and just want to add one more to their friends list. This goes for bands who will never tour or play the lounge and people who think they should have a bunch of half naked women in their top friends.

Music:

Television:

Books:

Don't have time to read anymore

Heroes:

Syd Barret
