Interests
General
Professionally, I've gone from serial monogamy to polygamy (or at least polyamory), so to speak. After many years "married" to one tech/new media company after another, I founded a new firm, Bottom Line Law Group, based in San Francisco and Santa Monica. If you need a lawyer for your social media, Web 2.0 or digital media startup, you know who to call.I also blog at Mashtag and tweet daily about subjects related to the intersection of people, capital, technology and creativity. If you want to read such geeky stuff, check out the blog, subscribe to the RSS feed, and/or follow me on Twitter.
Italy is literally in my blood (half of it) and I have a passion for all things Italian, including my beloved Vespa ET4. I speak a lot of Spanish, a little French, and only about 20 words of Italian (most of which you don't want me to repeat).
Music is my first love -- I play keyboards (Nord Stage 88, Korg OASYS, Kurzweil K2661) and sing, but won't be quitting my day job any time soon.
Music
I play keys, most recently with Man And The MotorcarTHE POLICE -- they rocked in Vegas! Air, Beck, Breakestra, Chemical Brothers, Coldplay, Daft Punk, Death Cab for Cutie, Kinky, Aimee Mann, Massive Attack, My Morning Jacket, Ozomatli, Radiohead, Rilo Kiley, Royksopp, Snow Patrol, Sumack, Thievery Corporation, Waking Ashland, Wilco, Zero 7...
I love discovering new indie
, alternative and electronica artists, worship Nic Harcourt, Jason Bentley and company at KCRW. Spent an awesome weekend at Coachella for the sixth year in a rowMovies
I'm Not There, Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, Charlie Wilson's War, Little Children, Borat, Children of Men, Clerks II, The Departed, The Good Shepherd, Super Size Me, Thank You For Smoking, Little Miss Sunshine, Office Space, Syriana, School of Rock, South Park (the movie/musical), Team America: World Police, Lord of the Rings series, Godfather series, Star Wars (IV-VI); just about anything by Tarantino, Scorsese, Coppola, Linklater, Soderbergh, Altman (RIP), Anderson (Wes or Paul Thomas)...Television
