Designing album covers and releasing great music by bands that truly inspire me. Travelling to as many places as i can on weekends . . . I'm definitely an escapist. Looking for random dive bars to hang out in. Trying to recreate the great late Benny Benjamin's drum beats on my set. Halloween parties, karaoke, buying way more records than I can ever listen to. Hanging out with fun people. Checking out tons of cds from the library and trying to remember to return them. Playing badminton, ping pong, and bowling. I used to love rollerskating until I broke my leg at a B.Y.O.B. rollerskating party. Meeting new peeps. Trying new restaurants. Dancing to old rock and soul music.
