I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

The small talk: My name is Greg. I live in DC's impenetrable suburban fortress. When I'm not spending my time there at work or racing to the academic finish line at school, I'm playing guitar and singing in Burning Shadows, and occasionally adding an extra instrument to Recently Vacated Graves: True Zombie Metal. If there's anything else about me you need to know, go find my tax records. The deep stuff: I'm uncultured, lazy, addicted to cereal, obsessed with collecting music to an almost unhealthy degree. And I don't smell too great either.

My Interests

music, guitar, reading, mythology, cubism, road trips, making crude bagels out of your fecal matter. In fact, I like to combine my interests by reading about Picasso's guitars while taking a shit in the car.

I'd like to meet:

Really fat people, because there's a huge void in my life right now that will be filled more efficiently with larger bodies. Common sense, people.

Why my drummer is a stupid stinky-face

So... Strong Intention's got a big-ass 40-date US tour with DRI on deck for the next month and a half. Two weeks before it starts, our drummer John told us he couldn't get off work for the very begin...

No, they didn't play Freebird.

Yeah, so I ended up going to Leah's house last Wednesday to see her flute choir perform at some senior center in Hampton. At the moment, I can't really imagine a more bizarre scenario than me surroun...

Musicians are GAY FOR SOME PENIS.

So... I was supposed to jam with some local band tonight at their practice space in Baltimore. Halfway into the trip, their bassist calls to say practice is cancelled because the drummer caught a ser...

Grim and frosty outside, warm and toasty inside

It's snowing. And I'm watching it. At 4 in the morning. Good god I'm lame.
