CURRENT MISSION

I am an actor/poet/performer who is looking to find out how I fit into this crazy world. I have always felt that experience is the best education, and now I think it is time to experience other people, places and things that are out there waiting

ABOUT ME

I am a very outgoing and friendly person. I am a performer, and currently do stand-up comedy, sketch comedy, Slam Poetry, Stage Acting, Shakespeare and much more. Currently, I am writer/actor/director of a bi-weekly sitcom for all ages called "tRUNks!". It is a live comic book show for kids, about the lives of 3 superheroes. Each episode is based ona different kids book, that is suggested by the audience, so our show is both trying to get families and kids interested in and in love with theater, and also reading books again. You can check out the show episodes @ www.buntport.com/trunks, look for me in glasses and a bunny logo. My superhero name is Donald Baxter a.k.a. "the cute". I love my family and friends, and I am always looking for new people to connect with.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know if I have a personal philosophy as of yet, but here are a few quotes that sum it up for me:

"Whatever you are...be a good one"-Abraham Lincoln
"The Dude Abides."-The Big Lebowski
"If you want to build a boat, do not have the people of your village go and gather wood. Do not assign the all tasks and jobs to do. Rather, teach them to yearn for the sea." -Old Proverb

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to CS, and so I am looking to give it a try when I go to Europe (specifically France) in July. If I find the experience to be a good one, then I will gladly open up my couch to any peoples visiting Colorado.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None...yet!

Interests

In my about me section I talk about acting and the Children's show I write/act in, I am also a Slam/performance poet, and have compteted and won slams all around the country. Last year, I represented Denver at the National Poetry Slam in Austin Texas, and our Denver team came in 6th place. I love poetry, and in particualr performance poetry, and the way it can affect audiences of all ages. There are some samples of my poetry on youtube and on myspace @ www.myspace.com/kiddenver
