About Me

At Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival, SeattleWow! It's Me Again!

LAYERS OF THE ONION:
I am a performing artist, theatre technician, and a traveler. And now, I am also a show producer. Before Las Vegas, I lived in Cancun for 2 years. Before that, I was in San Francisco for 3 years. Before that, I lived in Seattle. I have a chip on my shoulder and a sprint in my stride. I have a yen for romance and a penchant for solitude. I have a keen sarcasm and a wry nonchalance.
(...I have a duck in my shorts and a monkey on my back.)
RELIGION: Divinity is inherent in the Manifest. Can you relate?.
POLITICS: I know how to make a Molotov Cocktail.
SOCIAL SETS: Indie Artists, Liberal Brains, Domesticated Angels.
FOODS: Is it *white* wine or *red* wine with my grandma's tamales?
SEXUAL PREFERENCE: A Nymph with a silent O.
LOVES: Forests, Skinnydipping the moonlit Caribbean, Thai coconut soup.
HATES: Haters. I'm trying to hate less every day. It is a doorway for demons.
SPECIAL SUPERPOWERS:
1) I can make babies fall asleep in my arms.
2) I can detect bullshit from a great distance.
3) I can S-L-O--W-----T-------I---------M----------E-------->
