Music: playing guitar, playing bass, yelling, old punk, 80s hardcore, arty strangeness, good thrash, good alt rock, psychobilly, blues, jazz, electronica, savage country, trip hop, and there are 4 metal bands that I can stand (those being Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Himsa and Slayer). Besides all that I like making movies, snowboarding, buskers, zombies, noir and cult films, art, food, boys, going to shows, writing, my friends, being a nerd, lighting things on fire and blowing stuff up at Ben's house, arguing with Cory, putting laundry detergent in the Sand Point Fountain.
I'd like to meet:
Interesting people...and/or punks, weird folks, artists, smart people, writers, musicians, Amanda Fucking Palmer, Tom Waits, Jim Jarmusch, Eve Libertine, Joy de Vivre, Jello Biafra and Max Cannon.
I would not like to meet any Nazis or racists or Green Day kids or sheep. And CERTAINLY not William Shatner. Certainly not.
