    The Mayor of Awesometown's Interests
Generalmusic from indierock to freejazz to country and most points in between (barring Dancehall, reggaeton, nu-metal, screamo and Salsa), reading and writing (feel free to judge my written works here: http://chickenwaffles.blogspot.com), coffee, movies with more talking and sex than killing and maiming, stand-up (or sit-down) comedy, playing my own music and recording it, long drives down winding roads to unknown destinations, mixtapes/mix cds to listen to for those drives, hanging out with my friends, being a media mogul and going to rock shows when my work schedule allows it.

   The Mayor of Awesometown's Blurbs
About me:
I live for music, writing and comedy and dabble in each. I am a triple threat dilettante. I grew up in a snarky family, so I learned to mistake sarcasm for affection at an early age. Now I can't have one without the other.

Here is me doing standup @ Giggle Hut in Port Jefferson for Han Solo in carbonite!
Who I'd like to meet:
Women who were raised by wolves, but don't run with them because they'd rather stay home and watch "30 Rock."

|


I am pretty friendly in most instances and don't mind conversing with new people, but I'd prefer to be messaged before you try adding me if I don't know you at all. And as for bands, I give up. Seriously. If you send me a cool message, maybe I'll consider it. However, if you like music a lot, go to http://www.myspace.com/esche -- that is the profile for my record label. It rocks.

Just to let you know, my short story collection “A History of Sarcasm” is now available to buy.  (It’s great, by the way.)

 

You can get it from www.doghorn.com

 

More details on my website, www.frankburton.co.uk

 

“The writer William Burroughs once called language “a virus from outer space”, and there’s a sense of that in A History of Sarcasm, where Burton holds words up to the sun and lets the light shine through them.”

David Swann.
