About Me

Hey, my name is Dan, I'm a junior in high school, and I currently reside in the Twin Cities, MN. I really think Minneapolis and St. Paul are both fantastic places, and people's acceptance for new art (visual, aural, and all of those good things) is fantastic. I really enjoy music a lot (partially thanks to my brother who got me interested in some interesting/unique music early on.) I enjoy writing. I enjoy taking pictures, often of the color saturated variety. I am a vegetarian. (is that a full sentence?... seems short) I am in a few bands, Dragons Power Up! , the Rusty Zippers, and In Quadraphonic Mono. I like books, movies, art, music, etc. I have a large obsession with music, and noise/sound in general (but not in that crazy way.. like hearing a symphony in the hum of a light bulb or some shit). I enjoy hanging out with friends, talking (I do seem quiet at first though), and a sense of humor. So at this point, I think I have written a satisfactory amount of info...

My Interests

Listening to/writing/making/recording/playing music/guitar, writing, photos/art, hanging out with friends, going to shows, delay & echo, technical electronics/computer stuff.

I'd like to meet:

Nice people? But... a lot people, mainly musicians and artists I like...okay, yes I am using that as an excuse to not indulge in even more excessive list making.
