About me: Musician, writer, film buff, love good books, sarcastic nut & trivia wiz. Good beer, Asian & Italian cuisine, '60s Mod and Maximum R&B - Yeah! Say it loud! I'm Red Irish and Proud! Picked my way through Ulysses for my senior thesis. Have been known to dance while intoxicated. I played guitar and sang in the Seattle garage band called The Bug Nasties for 5 years. Before that I was in The Sinister Six. I used to be a grungy kid when I played in Catbutt. Not no more. No siree. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Who I'd like to meet: My maker, Booker T. Jones, Faye Dunaway, Diana Rigg, Jean-Luc Godard and all you crazy diamonds. I nearly met Nancy Sinatra and Paul Weller. I need to work on that.
