About me:
i'm cigar.
I'm just about the greatest guy ever. At least I think so. Actually I am a pretty normal dude. Working for the green, hang or working out in my spare time, and doing whatever I want to enjoy myself while I still can. I've been to a fuckload of concerts or so it has seemed.
I have a love affair with music. I've got a colossal cd collection which I have neglected to maintain... I consider myself to be a semi-professional musician, and a professional audio guy/stage management dude. I play mainly drums, but dabble in guitar, bass, some keys, violin, mandolin, clarinet, etc. I can sing, but that's debatable. Perfect Crime is my defunct band. Check out the old stuff here at MySpace, or at PureVolume. I've been known to fill in on drums, vox, guitar, or bass from time to time in other bands... The newest project we've got going is Department of Defense, a satirical hardcore punk band that touts the ideals of the "Right". I was also involved in a Misfits tribute band and you can check that out right here.
I am a graduate of the Insitute of Audio Research & I now work at AARIUS Studios during the evening hours. When I am not working there, however, you can probably see me working, playing, or enjoying myself (or all) at various venues like the Starland Ballroom, the Count Basie Theater, the Asbury Park scene, Joey Harrison's Surf Club, BB King's Blues Club, and the smaller NY/NJ Venues.
Hm, let's see, I used to play football in high school (for about 5 months) and now I go to the gym sporadically, play basketball at local parks, or just have random street fights. It's great for cardio!
I am relatively confident that I can whoop anyone's ass in Mario Kart 64.
Who I'd like to meet:
Cool people. Punk rock broads or chicks with the really crazy hair colors. Darth Vader. The Frito Bandito. Whoever marketed Pogs. Kurt Russell dressed like Snake Pliskin. Bad Brains. The Repo Man. The guy who invented the JVC Kaboombox. John Madden. Modern day marketing executives, Seth Macfarlane & Dane Cook so I can kick them all in the nuts, cause then I'd be "that guy".Details
