About me:

Much like yourself, I do things. I live with my wonderful girlfriend in scenic Humboldt Park, where my stoop serves as an exciting meeting place for neighborhood thugs and a multicultural group of 2nd year art students who agreed not to smoke inside their apartment. Infrequently, you can hear me on WZRD 88.3fm and WLUW 88.7 fm. Occasionally, I can be seen taking pictures, playing music, writing, or performing improv, comedy and spoken word. I prefer dance parties and hardcore shows to all other forms of human interaction. I blog too much. I make zines. I host writing workshops. It's all dweeb shit but I like it.
Old flyers, new pictures and random detritus on my flickr page. Click the pictures below to see the latest pics from GLITTERGUTS.COM

Who I'd like to meet:
Every fun, adventurous person in the Chicagoland area! Cult leaders, school shooters, circus folk, and gibberish speakers; people who can help me at the risk of their own complete physical/mental breakdown, people with stupid tattoos. Floors and couches that will hold me for a night or two when I'm feeling a spot of wanderlust
Hey look, I'm a huge dork and I put my calendar on myspace. look below!
