Music, dance, stage performance, independent film, stop motion and 2D animation, playing with the Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers, table tennis, ice skating, vintage couture, vaudeville, travel, comforting the dispossessed, and fascinated by zoology and the interpretation of culture. I'm living in this city with friends who also believe strongly in sustaining diversity and creativity and preserving a socially engaged instead of gentrified and disengaged community.
I grew up listening to my dad's classical music and mom's rock-n-roll 45's, began piano and drum lessons in 5th grade, would sleep with a tiny AM/FM radio at night to listen to 70's and 80's radio, joined the school choir & musical theater and was influenced by the early years of hard rock, punk, new wave and later on goth, industrial, experimental, along with ragtime, jazz, klezmer, swing, cuban, tango and flamenco.
Most recent film was 28 Weeks Later. (There are much better zombie movies worth your time.)
