About Me


I like life to be exciting and new everyday-can't stay in one place too long. But I love to stay productive by learning new things everyday and finding creative ways to support my travel habit. I play accordion, do circus things, hitchhike around, dance in the street, find cool things in the trash, play with fire, paint weird stuff and collage everything when I can sit still long enough and go to foreign countries to do the same things there. I need a proper migratory pattern to keep creative energy flowing.
SPAZ, Circo Mutante, Nightmare Collective, 5lowershop mofo! Warehouse America, stilt walking, fire performance, acrobalance, butoh, burlesque, cabaret, vaudeville, Comedia Del Arte', street performance, dumpster diving, drunken debauchery and singing really loud, freaks, mutants and artists of all types, pirate radio, organic farming, cob building, co-op business, warehouses collectives, and communal living... yeah all these things are great.
Smashing the system, fucking the status quo, and people who break the gender barriers are cool. The atrocities of the world by the powers that be are not cool. I like unconventional beauty, people who aren't afraid of being silly, making my own everything, good music, dancing all the time, riding my bike everywhere, skateboarding when its not raining, snowboarding when I can, festivals, dirty hippy feet, sleeping under the stars, intriguing conversations, and simple answers.

My Interests

Music:

Music music music...I like 20s and 30s jazz swing, ragtime, delta blues, eastern european, balkan, gypsy and traditional music from all over the world, good hiphop, anything with ragga, anything with accordions, experimental, electronic, wierd shit, noize, breakcore, political, music of empowerment and revolution, anything with soul and culture, if it brings me to tears or brings me to my feet dancing its something special, and music you can take with you and play in the street. yes yes fucking good acoustic music that can be played anywhere anytime all the time running through the blood pulsing day and night without studio sessions, record deals, and top 40 bullshit. I love the music my friends make.

Movies:

Artsy, obscure, independent, shorts, documentaries, and foreign films strike my fancy...and I'm always interested in good film or literature suggestions.

Television:

I hardly get to watch TV,and I freak out on channel surfers. fuck the programming

Books:

I read books like a chain smoker, and I temporarily fall in love with almost each one. Quite possibly one of my favorite things is checking out the bibliography of non fiction books cause its like a suggested reading list, and thats really cool.

Heroes:
