About me: I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Hello!
I heart art, records, dogs, staying up late, single malt scotch, summertime, sitars, skee-ball and the Coast to Coast AM radio show. Am very fortunate to be surrounded by fantastic talented and kooky friends who give life lots of color, humor and depth.
I am an artist/gallery publicist (LJP), spin vinyl records under the clever name “DJ Lee” at Bigfoot Lodge, Saints & Sinners and other venues/events and also run an independent record label called DIONYSUS RECORDS.

Tonight - I'll be guesting on Howie Pyro's "Intoxica" show - www.luxuriamusic.com from 9 - 11 pm!
Who I'd like to meet: The center of my universe, teachers, artists and academics, goofballs, upbeat weirdos, art collectors, record geeks, historians entrenched deeply in their microcosms, futuristic frontiersmen and frontierswomen, gallery owners, gallery hoppers, gallery groupies, wild cards, greeting cards, good doggies, bad mofos, good afros, boffo beach bums, tiki traders, space invaders, serenaders...
Infinity goes in both directions. It all depends on which way you walk as to where the path will take you...Celebrate the journey! Wishing you a joyous day :-)...
Thank You for all of your helpLee, with The Blues Gangsters promo ideas...you really turned me in the right direction. I owe you one big kiss or cocktail or something!
Yours Truly, Miss Kristi Maddocks de la Everybody Violet & The Blues Gangsters
