About me: I love music. I love to listen to it, write it, play it (guitar, bass, drums, piano, vocals), record it (that's what i went to school for)... I try to be genuine in everything I say or do. I live 99.9% of my life with a smile on my face. My favorite number is 67, because a six just looks good next to a seven. Aside from that, I guess other people would give more fair opinions about my character than I could...
Who I'd like to meet: Anybody who rocks, or rolls... But preferably rocks.
And people with scooters who want to cruise the streets of Hartford with me!
i LOVE this one day as a Lion Albulm. my friend played it for me the other day. anyways i wanted to tell you I also booked an AMAZING "reggase/ska/rocksteady/soul" band from Chicago caled Deal's Gone Bad at the Oasis Pub in New London, CT on MOnday Oct 27th Its only $5. You defn shouldn't miss this. its only $5. The guys are SO chill and their fav. bands/artists are like Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, etc, and actually the bari sax player sometimes spins old Cooke and Redding albulms so im gunna see if hes gunna do that this time as well. Anyways, i thought i'd let you know. I'd love to see you out there, esp b/c theyre such an amaizng band. theres a decent local ska band i booked for an opener called Great Skaught and a reallllly good ska/rocksteady/calipso band from Long Island as direct support called Royal City Riot.
Ahhhhhh! Why are they doing this to them?! This is stressing me out. :( This Linus guy needs to bite it. I am so confused. I don't think I can/should watch any more without you. Nope nope.
incase you didn't see my bulletin...my brother peat is running in the 2008 Urbanathalon in NYC on Sept 27th. It's an 8 mi. race with obstacles (ie. taxi hurdle) you can sponsor him & donate to the Challenged Athletes Foundation. CAF raises money to help people with physical disabilites pursue an active lifestyle through physical fitness & athletics. Tell your friends.. It's a great cause & every dollar helps!
