About Me

I'm an architectural and urban designer. I'm also into creative writing.I have two books of funky/jazzy/arty short stories out, "I'm right here," from Spout Press, and "Laredo," from Eraserhead Press (some pieces are dark and gothic, some kinda sci-fi, some absurdist, some more experimental, some more fairy tale, some fantasy-ish, some dream-like and surreal, some social satire, etc. Anyway, you get the picture).you can view these books on amazon.com at: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&search-type=ss&index =books&field-author=Tony%20Rauch&page=1Both presses have web sites. In the future Eraserhead plans to publish additional collections of my short stories, begining with "now we can buy a monkey" (surreal and action adventure, fantasy, sci-fi) and then "despite our best efforts" (more absurdist).Philosophy of life: Sleep. Pleanty of sleep. Oh, and clean T-shirts. Lots of clean T-shirts.Goals: Priority 1.): To have a cheese named after myself. A very offensive smelling cheese. Priority 2.): To have a medical procedure named after myself. I’d even settle for just an ailment. Even just a very specific rash. Priority 3.): To actually just get something done for once. To actually finish something I started (lots of interruptions such as eating, sleeping, personal hygiene, work, errands, cleaning, socializing, etc.).Catch Phrase that would best sum up who I am: 1.) "good, wholesome fun" or 2.) "sweeeet, dirty goooodneeess" (i can't remember if it's "sweeeet, juicy goooodneeess" or maybe "sweeeet, luscious goooodneeess")(anyway, there's a dollar in it for anyone who can name which 2 movies these quotes are taken from)Age: does my age really matter?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interesting. The person I'd most like to meet is Richard Brautigan, but unfortunately he's passed away, so meeting him any time soon will be unlikely. I'd also like to meet Donald Barthelme, but again, he's passed. Unfortunately if I did meet either of those two people I think I'd be in such awe of them that I wouldn't be able to say anything intelagible. So I'd probably just end up standing there harmlessly at a distance.
