ABOUT ME

Jason and Leslie met in college at the University of Illinois and now live together in Brooklyn, NY with three roommates and have been for the past three years. While trying to launch their own careers, and other artistic endeavors, they seem to stay put most of the year but the itch to vacate the crazy city of New York has taken over. They're gearing up for a summer trip to the EU that will hopefully slingshot them into a flurry of travel fever! Living in a Brooklyn apartment with five people can be a challenge but we try to make it work. People come and go in this flat for various reasons and before anyone gets comfortable we're meeting new people and rearranging our little life and little space together all over again. And we wouldn't trade it for another living arrangement. The way we collide within our lives and lifestyles, we belive is necessary and we usually attract people who have similar views. Meeting people and having those collisions are why we're so excited about CS!

PHILOSOPHY

We don't like Bush or the war.
