About Me

I am a captivating, intoxicating individual. Around me, birds suddenly appear, and choruses of angels sing hymns to my bonny face.Also, I like Bluegrass. And I'm alright at pool.

My Interests

I'm the guy who goes to Barnes and Noble and picks up a stack of cultural histories, and sits in the cafe reading them. Last week: corpses, plant reproduction, gunpowder, salt, the penis, mutants, oranges, the plague, the human hand, starfish, scurvy, steam engines, wood, scent, and a few more unrelated ones And I like bluegrass, and pool, and beer. And Go.

I'd like to meet:

I'm gonna have to go with "interesting people". That's pretty lame, because I don't think anyone wants to meet boring people, so I've effectively managed to say nothing, because you currently know not one bit more about who I'd actually like to meet than you did before you began reading this torturously long and completely uninformative two-sentence long (really, only two?) paragraph.

Michael Daves, Old Crow Medicine Show, Tool, The White Stripes, Del McCoury Band, Bill Monroe, Drive By Truckers, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Firewater, PJ Harvey, CCR, Curtis Eller, Bottle Rockets, Old 97's, John Saylor, The Magnetic Fields, Chatham County Line, Two Dollar Pistols, etc..
