About me: "you go away too much. that's why you're unhappy, because you can still remember what the world is like outside of new york's cement tenterhooks." -Olivia Allin

"We are drinkers with writing problems" -Truman Capote
"One final paragraph of advice: Do not burn yourself out. Be as I am-a reluctant enthusiast... a part time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still there. So get out there and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains. Run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards."—Edward Abbey
I sleep in the fetal position with one knee up. I want nothing more, at any given time, than to get in a car with a good friend, some heavy caffeine, some vocal chords, and a highway map to go somewhere far and new...as long as we stop in Graceland for Dippin' Dots.
I like the random aspects of life, I like eccentric people and obscenely long awkward silences. If I could spend half of every day writing and the other half cuddling, i would be pretty psyched.
So for anyone close enough to be able to make it out, we're playing in Denton this Thursday the 28th at Andy's Bar on the square.
It should be an awesome show, doors open at 9 and anybody 18 and over is welcome to come out and chill with us and watch as we tear that place to the ground!!
