About Me

i’ve been self-employed in the film biz for 20 yrs. i lived a lot of places, been a near vegetarian for 26 years.
ya don't care 'bout that shit, do ya?
i’m a gemini and i'm kinda sassy for an old fuck. Faster, Pussycat Kill!Kill!


My Interests

garage rock, art and stuff

I'd like to meet:

people that are easily entertained

Music:

i like mostly loud-soft-loud kinda stuff from people i kinda know...live music is better...go see your friends play & buy the CD & the shirt ... in Cleveland check : Grog Shop , Pats in the Flats , Beachland Ballroom , The Tower 2012(of Treason) , Now Thats Class and The Happy Dog . oh , radio (no CD player)... live feeds at WRUW 91.1 fm Cleveland and WCSB 89.3 fm Cleveland . WRUW reminds me of KXLU 88.9 Los Angeles but a little less punk, more ethnic. ************************* The Jockey Club reunion is coming up as is the Aurore book ... Tales For Shorty
below is a calender of events for the end of the summer 1984 (?)

Movies:

i get enough of that crap at work ... do i have to hear about it at home too ?

Television:

good television is television that pays well

Books:

i read a lot of books about art history, technical and instruction manuals, history stuff and short to medium longish fiction * i'm in the middle of "A Team of Rivals" by Doris Lessing**" VICE Magazine " * " Conversations with Wilder " by Cameron Crowe * " Hollywood " by Charles Bukowski * Cometbus * Jon Fauer's "Arriflex User Guides". Noam Chomsky 's interview series. i can hardly wait for Creem to start publishing again, "The Morrow Guide to Knots" * "Cherry Poptart" is sheer genius * Harry Box's brilliant and entertaining tome, “Set Lighting Technician's Handbook, Third Edition: Film Lighting Equipment, Practice, and Electrical Distribution” * ” Cash: The Autobiography” (i think Johnny Cash wrote at least 4 books, i've only read the last one)...i also loved lotsa record biz books including Please Kill Me* Lester Bangs: "Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung" * i think that "The Hitmen" by Fredric Dannen is outta print * by Fred Goodman's "Mansion on the Hill" * "Waiting for the Sun" by Barney Hoskyns

Heroes:

all the honest, hard working people that just do their stuff and live their lives. i like Woody Guthrie too.
