About Me

I like to read. I like doing research. I like organizing information. I like watching old movies. I enjoy music of all kinds - especially older music. I am a writer, and sometime free-lance journalist. I collect books. I am a nerd, and I revel in it.

I am also the director of the Louise Brooks Society. I am highly interested (read "consumed") with the silent film star Louise Brooks. (See www.pandorasbox.com for a manifestation of my interest/obsession, as well as my own Louise Brooks-themed radio station, RadioLulu , and Louise Brooks-themed blog .) I am also the author of a forthcoming book on the actress.

I am curently employed at the Booksmith in San Francisco. I am the events coordinator. There's more about me at www.thomasgladysz.com

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
