About Me:
Playing with
Estereo and being a student seem to take up most of my day, but somehow I find time for the other fun things in life, like bringing tubs of finger paints to San Francisco during the morning commute and trying to coax each and every suit that walks by on its merry way to work to stop and paint a little before they start their mundane work day, or following Corpus Callosum, Xiu Xiu, Neutral Milk Hotel, Jason Webley, Eric Cornforth or Dax to the ends of the earth and back on greyhound, or hunting for cows and castles in the rain in Ireland with nothing but a bike and a camera. Anyone wanna come with?
