About Me

"Sitting around in public places, watching other people go by, must be the world's most popular inactivity, and by a big margin. It costs nothing, requires no expensive equipment, and there is never a dull moment. The best places for sitting are, almost without exception, places designed primarily for some other purpose, and of all the possible sites and situations, stairs are at the top of anyone's list. Stairs offer changes of level and thus an overview of whatever there is to view; stairs are at the very beginning of theatre...Outdoor sitting brings out the contortionist in all of us: just changing postitions from time to time in the search for total comfort can profitably occupy an entire summer afternoon...Corporate sitting, like so many things corporate, is regimented, anti-human in concept, mediocre and boring."-How to See - George Nelson (i love this man)

KING THIEF (shamelessly plugging my brother's band...always wanted to have a rock star in the family...and a piano playing rock star named Nevada is infinitely cooler :) ..
