My Interests

Food; wine; beer; music (see below); movies (um, below, again); shooting pool; hanging out with the wife; not doing artwork or writing in my free time; playing video games, spending time with my few close friends doing anything.

I'd like to meet:

*My favorite novelist, Tibor Fischer.

*Adrian Belew -- guitarist/ multi-instrumentalist/ singer/songwriter who has worked with Zappa, Bowie, Talking Heads, King Crimson, etc. and has looked like he has been having a fantastic time with a huge smile on his face for 30+ years.

*Wesley Clark, so I could tell him to be more charismatic since I believe (as I did in 2004) that he is our best short-term hope as a president to shepherd us out of war.

*Gong Li -- the finest actress in the world.
