I'd like to meet:
Intelligent, creative, original, sincere people with opinions, personality, principles, and good taste....And someone to play tennis with. Seriously. Nobody wants to play tennis. I don't care if it's a Beaverton game. It's fun and bigger than ping-pong and I need a tennis friend. Jesus Christ, yes, you can still drink PBR if it'll make you feel better.
