About Me

I should begin by saying that I'm way older that 99 years old, but MySpace did not quite have my birth year listed, so I choose one that I thought sounded pleasant. You may wonder how a dinosaur like myself ended up surviving for so many years longer than the rest of my species, and the truth is that I burrowed into the ground. Yeah, I know... Anyways, it wasn't until 2002 that I finally rose back up to the surface. Luckily, I met quite a few awesome people who exposed me to the wonderful sound that is music, ROCK! I have since become somewhat of a show mascot and musical connoisseur of sorts.

I live in Seattle, Washington -- a fantastical mecca of musicians and magical sounds. I decided recently that I would greatly enjoy having a place to unleash my opinions and thoughts about some of the bands I have seen, and also wanted to hear what other people had to say (since I only go to shows with the same bunches of people all the time).

NOTE: The list of bands is comprised only of those I have seen live, it does not necessarily mean I like those bands and it is not wholly representative of the music I listen to.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone and everyone! I'm no Barney, but I do like to meet new people and I would love to be YOUR friend.

Got a show you're planning to see around my area? Please let me know about it!
