THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED
FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
WAS MUSIC
Movies
better off dead, office space, amelie, the princess bride, sleeper, raising arizona, most cusack flicks...
Television
fawlty towers
Books
Sick Puppy by Carl Hiassen, anything by Noam Chomsky, Sark, Chekhov, Roald Dahl or Banana Yoshimoto. And on those dark days nothing is better than Camus.

Who I'd like to meet: fun people who a) give a damn about the world around them
and b) like to explore the great outdoors whether in or

Thank you for your support! We really appreciate it! We'll be out of the studio in a couple weeks with our first full length in hands, and hopefully rocking a basement or living-room near you, shortly thereafter...
