Who I'd like to meet:

There's a high probability that I DON'T WANT TO MEET YOU! If you don't know me, don't have anything interesting to say or want to collect "friends" for your tedious, 3rd generation rip-off Indie or Emo band, please take this personally and FUCK OFF!

I WOULD like to meet people that are interested in talking endlessly about the genius of pre-war Hillbilly records, would like to give me money, point out sources and archives that might help my PhD dissertation, teach me how to play the banjo properly, tattoo me well for free, tell me where my Johnny Bach CD is, introduce me to good hip hop, start a raunchy hillbilly band or a proper Oi! band, or volunteer to push me around in a (necessarily) oversized pram and feed me White Russian from a baby bottle.
