Where do I belong?

About Me

For friends and lovers, I like creative types, messy hair, beards, wit, gainful employment, determination, music nerds, scientists, and graphic designers. You know, friendly and lovely people.* Special note to Jewish boys: Although I claim to be agnostic, my mom's mom is Jewish. What does that mean for you? Your Grandma will frown upon my being only technically Jewish, but your mom won't be totally bummed to have me over for dinner. At least I'm better than that last girl you dated. ....

My Interests

I live and die by Vice Magazine. I like gin, work, Dr. Pepper, tapas, music, parties, Mexican food, makin' sweet love, and Netflix. I don't drink wine or coffee. I think breath in my ear is the sexiest sound in the world.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet creative, fun, nice, smart people. Cool = good. Pretentious = bad. I need more nice ladies and gentlemen to go to shows with, as my friends are having babies daily, and I won't be doing THAT for a while. You like The Good Foot? 19th St? La Cave? Cahuenga? Let's go.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
