I am here for Friends

About Me

VOTE FOR US TO PLAY ON WARPED TOUR!
I'm John. I play drums in a band called The Coming Weak . I'm kind of a big deal. OK, I'm not that big of a deal. Yet. Also, I am on a huge Replacements kick. The band, not the shitty movie.
I like these things: playing the drums; original lemon-lime Gatorade; Newport, RI; listening to new music; listening to old music; orange-flavored stuff; laughing till it hurts; the New York Yankees; drinking beer; cooking vegetarian; The Decatur Lounge; being a grammar Nazi; vintage drums and guitars; watching Pardon the Interruption The Office; living on the East Side; going on rock tours; ESPN.com's Bill Simmons; the comedy stylings of Mitch Hedberg; writing; camping trips; Calvin and Hobbes; reading anything I can get my hands on; dressing up fancy and wearing my chucks; the fairer sex.
I do not like these things: The Family Circus, pork chops.
