Dr. Astronaut Body

About Me

A founding member of the late & lamented Reagan's Polyp, Dr. Astronaut Body lives and practices in the Lower Haight neighborhood of San Francisco. By day he toils as a secretary in a medical research lab, where all the social transactions are completely opaque, and the rest of the time he serves The Pine Box Boys in his capacity as their videographer / archivist / occasional roadie / comic relief. Like everyone new to California, he "does yoga." PRABOB.

NB: I am not a wedding planner or DJ. That's someone else.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Brian DePalma, Yoko Ono, Louis CK, Lee Edelman, Ken Russell, Mr. Skull, Alejandro Jodorowsky
