About Me

Restless, eclectic, impulsive, capricious and nice. Resilient. I work a lot. I travel a lot. I despise conflict but I am wickedly protective of my friends and family. Insanely frightened of routines, suburbia and magicians. THE SPEAKEASY is open for biz-- 1920 3rd Avenue North-- Birmingham, AL. Coolest bar i've ever been in (yeah yeah, i'm bias but still honest). Bands bands bands... email me if you want to play... know someone who should. Check out the website www.speakeasy1920.com and register for the newsletter.
