About Me

2006= If I drank all the hatorade I have been served, I would be waaay too intoxicated with fear to keep going.***Rosethorns is a multi-instrumental audio cornucopia of experimental delights from the mind of me Hallow Weener. First created in 1999 after I went on vacation to L.A. for my 30th birthday & was inspired out of my 6 month dropout from music mischief. I came back to Indiana ready to give it another go. Within the year I had a 4-track & began to record ideas.***I began playing out regularly @ the Melody Inn's Otto's open stage in 2005. ***2007= Never be limited by what has already been done.-the real Da Vinci code******We've all done our fair share of commiserating about Indianoplace. Speaking as an experimental artist, it has always afforded me opportunities beyond my dreams.***No one has time to have deep meaningful relationships with everyone they know. All you can do is try to be kind & hope for the best.***To risk nothing is to risk everything-Daniel Ash***Things have already changed, hopefully for the good, since I updated this. I am happy to announce my 1st interview for my website, F.W.I.M., will be with the lovely ladies of Little Voice.*** Never underestimate life's lemons; they can make pretty fabulous lemonade!!!***I care not whether thou art too cool for school, SMASHING PUMPKINS RULE!!!***Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.-Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr***"The divine truth is not in a building or a book or a story...the heart is the temple wherein all truth resides...Jesus was my son, Buddha was my son. Mohammed, Moses, you, the man who said there was no room in the Inn was my son." George Burns, "Oh, God!" MyGen Profile Generator
