I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

PhD candidate in NYC, originally from a small city in the Canadian prairies Sold my soul for Rock'nRoll a long time ago. love artifice and hate phoniness, Love old things but hate nostalgia. i'm into good talkers, good boooks and good food. History and Pop culture freak, and if all goes well I will end up writing one of those dense wordy academic books nobody reads. I also write for Worn fashion journal which is totally legible and very cool. (www.wornjournal.com) I'm also a pretty decent DJ.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Good friends who make me laugh. Anyone to travel and have adventures with. Anyone who thinks a whole day spent at home listening to music is not a waste of time. People who do what they say they're gonna do, and any nerdy obsessive vintage buyer, seller, traders, wheeler-dealers...
