CURRENT MISSION

Spread the word that DC actually stands for "Dance Central"

ABOUT ME

I started my work-life as a dishwasher. It was not for love of labor. Sixteen years later, I'm still in a restaurant. I don't think it's my life's work, but it has become a labor of love.

I'm not comfortable letting my job define me, but these days it seems I work more than I play.

I should write more often.

Sometimes I have a beard.

PHILOSOPHY

Changes with the dewpoint.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to show you the DC I've come to know. Food would inevitably play a role.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I moved to Austin for a little while and got a job writing content for a (now defunct) website devoted to local music. I joined Couchsurfing as a way to reach out to area musicians. It worked. Some great articles came out of that. When I moved back to DC one of my subjects contacted me when he was coing through town on tour and I booked him a gig at my bar. He brought a good crowd. Everyone wins.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I recently saw two mimes get into an honest to goodness brawl. At first I thought it might be a bit of street theatre, but then they started yelling. A third mime tried to break it up but he was too drunk to be effective.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I'd like to get a writing workshop together. No gratuitous back-patting though.
