'So what kind of establishment will this G.I.G. be?' asked the lady behind the desk.

My Interests

Art in all it's many forms.
There's plenty of wall space for your art.
Drop by or email me a jpeg.

I'd like to meet:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,

Music:

A small place lends itself to intimate music.
Think you've got some chops?
Come and give it a try.

Movies:

Movie swap.
Bring in a VHS,
take home a VHS.
Bring in a DVD,
take home a DVD.
Originals in good condition
and with cases please.
visit gigonthestrip.com for a list of titles

Television:

There's one here.
It's just for playstation though.
visit gigonthestrip.com for a list of titles
or bring your own

Books:

Very few books and magazines right now.
Would you be so kind as to donate your castoffs?
A good book is a terrible thing to waste.

Heroes:

The crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers,
the round pegs in the square holes...

Icebergs Ahead

No band tonight. No big deal. "Get some work done" I said to myself.

Three lovely ladies visited and chatted. One, early in the evening, the other two in the late evening.I was torn between Alberts interface or human interaction. Sorry Albert, you lose and always will....
