Music first, then films Photography and art...and the Theater-studied acting for awhile. Modern and mid century design and architecture. I have been playing the guitar badly for such a long time but I love it. LOVE my Rickenbackers - 6 & 12 strings!!! I am also a political junkie and it drives me crazy. Restaurants-love to eat out. Really delicious wines....Massages.....the long and slow ones. And humour-really off the wall stuff. San Francisco and New York of course. And I Love MAKINS HATS..they are hand made in Manhattan!!!! And ADS Hats in San Francisco.
Also one or more of these (gotta be gin) but skip the vermouth...
