About Me

Reasons to vote Republican

I'm one of the two hosts of Two Idiots Peddling Poetry in Orange, CA. We've had the pleasure of featuring amazing poets such as Buddy Wakefield, Rachel McKibbens, Rachel Kann, Cecilia Woloch, Derrick Brown, Kim Addonizio, and Jack McCarthy. Check out the website at http://www.poetryidiots.com

I go to Disneyland a lot, and I read comic books even more often than that.
