About me: I work at the Dallas Observer and I play music (check out www.myspace.com/thenaptimeshake). You might also recognize me from my work with the '70s Swedish pop group ABBA.
Who I'd like to meet: Ladies with good taste in music, guys with cool facial hair, lapsteel players, trumpet players, fiddle players, twangy girl singers, rock stars, Zooey Deschanel, Neko Case
Lisa Loeb and Everclear are no laughing matter. The Everclear cd is better than the Theater Fire I also got at HPB for $3. Go ahead - laugh it up with the guys at Mexican dinner night. Emily Z. loves 90s music. Ahhahhahaha!
