About Me

my 5 year plan is on it's last leg. i've got 8 more months to go on it and, really, the whole past 4 years have been to make these last few months happen. chile, here i come.

My Interests

random flights through air and pure trust that the person i've aimed myself at will catch me! Reading educational novels. The southeast. Chile (the country, not the food, fool). Graphic Design. Lake Worthers who don't play. Projects. Meeting queers in the southeast, namely the boro. Landgoddesness. Hats. Arm & wrist warmers. Collective living. Anti-racism. Radical music. Making music and rythyms. Art in places you least expect to experience it. Homebrew. Gardens. Chickens. Goats. The most rawest milk i can get my hands on. Making butter. My friends scattered across the country.

I'd like to meet:

queers. punks. geeks. musicians. samba nerds. marching band geeks. clawhammer banjo player to teach me. kings & queens. latino@s.

Music:

Boxcar Bertha, Bitchin', Man Man, desark, Mirah, Talib, Chabaca, Victor Jara, Violeta Parra, Mercedes Sosa, Johnny Cash, Operation Ivy, Tiger Bear Wolf, Las Orishas, The Coup, Cakalak Thunder, Piedmonster, Infernal Noise Brigade, Inti-Llamani, Gypsy Kings, Cat Power, Pixies, Jolie Holland, Hope for a Golden Summer, Joanna Newsom, Common, Be Good Tanyas, Chris Bathgate. But my favorite kind of music is the live kind made by friends, hurrah...!
