About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Write My Dissertation.

ABOUT ME

I'm constantly making music. When I'm not, I'm probably thinking about it.

PHILOSOPHY

Good music, good food, and good company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed and hosted--CS is great.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My very first "surf" organized online took place at two different residences in Ohio. I was volunteering during election season, and the folks I met on couchsurfing.com were very kind. I'm very thankful for that.

Interests

I'm mostly disinterested in "stuff". I don't have an iPod or a Twitter account.

I'm interested in learning more about the world through others. (isn't that part of why we're all on this site?)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: currently I'm knee-deep in a project on rock performance (the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Grateful Dead, Alice Cooper, Styx). Heroes: Steve Reich, Lucy Kaplansky.
Books: I just finished Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. I am usually reading French philosophers (Foucault, Baudrillard), David Harvey, Cortazar (en Espanol), and recent classics (Animal Farm, that sort, you know?)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just returned from Iceland, which is a fantastic place to visit. Highly recommended.

Countries I’ve Visited

American Samoa, Australia, Croatia, France, Gibraltar, Greece, Guatemala, Italy, Malta, Mexico, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
