I'm interested in men that wear hats well. I'm also interested in the peculiarities of religion and mourning rituals. Songs in waltz-time. Mandolins, fiddles, harpsichords, banjos, accordions and the people who play them. Theremins and the mastering thereof. MicroKORG! I'm interested in many things, generally speaking.
I'd like to meet:
Not potential dates. Seriously. Just friends. Chances are I have more in common with your socially awkward, cross-dressing little brother than you... unless of course, you ARE that little brother. In that case we'd have a lot to shoot the shit about. I'm all about making some new friends. I like people... a lot. Andy Partridge and Ray Davies would be neat. More friends in Pittsburgh. Pleasant people with a sense of humor and have good taste in music who like to go to rock and roll shows and go picking through dusty old record bins. You know... people like that. People that would like to work on a marionette puppet film with me. Anyone who would like to work on a bizarre musical/film project. Artists who actually produce artwork. You know... creatives, musicans, good people with good ideas.
