About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

(this is ACTUALLY one of kelly's best friends)

Kelly is............

a large bicycle with red grip tape and a giant front rack holding something random and huge bursting through the universe on turbo calf power. singing along the way (or listening to crazy post rock ). oh...and always on the way to food.

PHILOSOPHY

Routines are boring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Started just surfing, but have hosted many at my apartment in Montreal. Will be on the surfing side of things for a while, but looking to host again when I return!

Interests

Elaborate sandwiches, playing music, theoretical physics, urban planning, making and eating good food, lazing in the sun, pretending not to be a tourist, watching live music in any form, bike races, bluegrass jams, doodling, making myself all too comfortable in cafes, anti-imperialism, fixing things, building things, taking things apart, compulsive weather checking, grapefruit, buying more books than I have time to read, singing, bargain grocery shopping, moving all too much, queer folks, bike coops, solidarity work, free museums, free samples, free things in general, being massively disorganized and easily distracted, taking off.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste ranges from bluegrass to punk to electronica to post rock to experimental...whatever you'll throw at me. I'll give (almost) everything a chance. Favorites that never grow old include Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Nick Cave, Gillian Welch, Mogwai, Modest Mouse, The Unsettlers, Russian Circles, Tom Waits and Elliott Smith.
Book wise, I've been geeking out on critical race theory and radical urban planning literature recently. But making an attempt to give my mind a break and discover good fiction.
