CURRENT MISSION

One of these days I'd really like to wear an ironed shirt.

ABOUT ME

Recovering record addict and peripatetic pop philospher

PHILOSOPHY

No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I slept on plenty of couches in my time. Once a woman named Barbara picked up me and about other 4 people who were hitching back from this big 3-day dance party thing, she gave us a place to stay for the night and even let us do a load of laundry (we were all muddy as forty bastards.) That was pretty special.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was my lifelong dream to be a roadie. Then Busta Rhymes toured Dunedin, and needed road crew. So I spent a day carting PA gear around the place and swearing. It was everything I'd hoped and more.
