I'd like to meet:
Musicians, poets, painters, crafties, intellectuals, fools, fighters, friends, lovers,...everyone in between. Grounded wanderers. Confident self-depricators. Instigators and co-conspirators. Persons with whom to surf. People who say what they mean and mean what they say. Open minds with open eyes and open hearts. People who celebrate true individuality - in themselves and in others. Passionate people who inspire me. Self-proclaimed masters of wit and sarcasm. Keen folks out for a spiffy time.
