About Me

I am in a band called the Royal Pendletons. I play Guitar. I also like to Dj records from the 1960's, host Dance Parties, and generally have fun.I am also the Props Master for the New Orleans Opera, the oldest Opera in the United States. I've got years of experience making bloody severed heads, flaming swords, and stuff like that. it's kind of like a heavy metal video from the 1980's only bigger.here's some photos on my FLICKR page: http://flickr.com/photos/djmatty/sets/ please check out my livejournal: http://www.livejournal.com/users/spacebuggy/ MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests


Making Props for the Opera. crazy old records and books, magazines and wierd little do-dads and gizmos you find in the trash and the junk shop. I really dig exploring old attics full of trunks and boxes. I like rustic old houses and places. photography, 1960s, modern abstract and pop art, demolition derbys, going on tour, fall days, garage sales, freaking out, abstract painting, hauntings and haunted places in the countryside. exploring small towns and big cities. checking it all out. playing guitar. playing air guitar when the real thing isn't at hand. Rock and ROll
