About Me

i'm cigar.
I'm just about the greatest guy ever. At least I think so. Actually I am a pretty normal dude. Working for the green, chillin with the homies in my spare time, and doing whatever I want to enjoy myself while I still can. I've been to a fuckload of concerts or so it has seemed.
You gotta know by now that I love music. I gotta colossal CD Collection which I have neglected to maintain... I consider myself to be a semi-professional musician, and a professional audio guy/stage management dude. I play mainly drums, but dabble in guitar, bass, some keys, etc. I can kind of sing, but that's debatable. Perfect Crime is the name of the game, ask me again and I'll tell ya the same, foo. Check us out here at MySpace, or look us up for the time being at PureVolume while we re-structure our real web site. Thanks in advance for the support. I've been known to fill in on drums, vox, guitar, or bass from time to time in other bands... The newest project we've got going is Department of Defense , a satirical hardcore punk band that touts the ideals of the "Right" Way. I'm also involved with a Misfits tribute band and you can check them out right here .
I am a graduate of the Insitute of Audio Research & I now work at AARIUS Studios during the evening hours. When I am not working there, however, you can probably see me working or enjoying myself (or both) at various venues like the Starland Ballroom, the Count Basie Theater, the Asbury Park scene, Joey Harrison's Surf Club, and some smaller NY Venues.
Hm, let's see, I used to play football in high school (for about 5 months) and now I go to the gym sporadically, play basketball at local parks, or just have random street fights. It's great!
I am relatively confident that I can whoop anyone's ass in Mario Kart 64.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Cool people. Punk rock broads. Or chicks with the really crazy hair colors. Darth Vader. The Frito Bandito. Whoever marketed Pogs. Josie & the Pussycats. Norman Smiley. Kurt Russell dressed like Snake Pliskin. The Bad Brains. The Repo Man. Rob Halford . The guy who invented the JVC Kaboombox. John Madden. The Rock 'N Sock Connection. Modern day marketing executives, Seth Macfarlane & Dane Cook so I can kick them all in the nuts, cause then I'd be "that guy".
AIM - Vorti 316. Hit it whenever. I'm on sometimes.
I am also on that there Facebook. Catch the Facebookery by adding me: Ed Cigar
