About Me

patient and dextrous

My Interests

waving to the imaginary crowd when i get on and off airplanes, style, philly cheese steaks, giving hippies a hard time, giant beats, trying to get my band to appear on don kirschner's rock concert, gil elvgren, the wake and bake, indian food, dogs, girls in heels and seamed stockings (boys if it gets late enough), using whatever means neccessary to extract a confession, spending money unwisely, anything green sparkle, modern pop/rock theory and analysis based on a 70s rock/pop paradigm rooted in a 60's post-elvis aesthetic, zablozki's and the sweetwater, winding up republicans jocks and golfers, photobooths, speaking with a bad british accent, stella artois, slot car racing, nanotechnology, defeat of the regime, world peace through a combination of music, art, and civilized drug policy, keeping it moderately real, a nice pastrami and corned beef on rye with mustard, vulcanization, and i would be remiss if i didn't mention pants.

I'd like to meet:

someone who can explain cricket to me.
someone who is so taken with me at first sight that they just give me a million dollars.
someone who thinks that a pastrami is an animal of some kind.
that guy that stole my bike when i was 13. fuckin' dick. (i know you're out there, eric.)
me when i was seventeen and slap some sense into myself.
you when you were seventeen and slap some sense into you, while i'm at it.
