About me:

Music over silence, poetry over prose, comedy over tragedy, underground over mainstream, tea over coffee, used books over new, recycling over trash, credo over indecision, special dark over milk chocolate, sushi over carpaccio, orange over blue, sneakers over heels, jazz over pop, sailing over yachting, Bartley's over In-N-Out, City Lights over the Harvard Bookstore, The NY Post over The Onion, Jerry Rice over Steve Young (but this is really like choosing between your children), national healthcare over the crap we have now, Red Sox over Yankees, Zelda over Mario Bros, Braeburns over Fujis, smiling over laughing, dancing over drinking, writing over reading, 16 over 9, Simpsons over Friends, and Calvin & Hobbes over Charlie Brown & Snoopy. .. .. ..

Old-time sessions - listen here.

Who I'd like to meet:

People who: look cool in lab goggles, know Gillespie's "Goobers!" recording of Salt Peanuts, wash dishes like a monk, are not bad cooks, and get moral satisfaction when they clean the lint trap after using a communal dryer. P.S. Movers, shakers, and health justice makers! Come with me and build a novel free medical clinic where patients are friends and community is tantamount.
