About me:

Librarian by day, mild-mannered wild child by night.

On Myspace, I'm on a quest to meet the next generation of librarians from near and far, in an effort to draw together a network of remarkable, fun, perhaps radical, innovators performing small, but nevertheless meaningful, miracles every day.

Who I'd like to meet:

.. Librarians, postmodern thinkers, intelligent conversationalists, bedroom musicians, and anyone amused by a significant portion of my interests

    Hey Anthony,

    Thank you, I'm doing alright I suppose. It may sound absurd, but his death has been hard to bear. But that is just how awesome he is.
    ;)

    Anyway, thank you for stopping by. It's good hearing from you and I hope you're doing well also.


    Cheers!

    Hi Anthony,

    thanks for finding me, I'm delighted to be your friend. You are definitely a very cool librarian! There's a librarian in one of my stories, I hope you'll get a chance to read it one day. I also hope you'll get a chance to have my book on your library shelves.


    Be happy amongst the books.

    Thanks for the add, and though this cannot technically represent the opinion of the Chicago Underground Library, awesome music list. Although if anyone did take issue with endorsing Tony Conrad, we'd have a problem.
