Music - all kinds! Major oenophile. (Fave wine labels: Porter Creek, De La Montanya, J, Le Cuvier, Thumbprint) Love hiking and the beach, indie movies, shopping, Indian and Thai food, Tapas, Sushi, out of the way places with a great jukebox, hanging out with my best friend Eddie, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, queer activism and gay history.
