About me:

This year I'm living abroad, getting a scuba license, having weekly massages, keeping a dream journal, discovering a new prime number, funding micro-loans, sending lots of post cards, taking lots of pictures and owning less than 50 material possessions.



I'm also crunching for my distributed computing project Seventeen or Bust:



Who I'd like to meet:

People who continually re-discover what's possible in life.

Skydivers, Surfers, Entrepreneurs -- everyone who knows that avoiding risks is the biggest risk of all.

    I will be performing at The Moose Lodge, (2103 E.M Franklin Ave. - Austin, TX), this Sunday, Dec. 21st. This is going to be a very fun night of music and food... and it's FREE!

    The doors open at 5:00pm. There is going to be a potluck, so bring a hot or cold dish to share if you wish. Also, there is going to be a cardigan competition, so wear your favorite/ugliest cardigan and you might win a fabulous prize!

    ALSO, some very excellent bands are playing, including Attic Ted, (who I personally feel is one of the baddest-ass bands in Texas), The Pillow Queens, and Jacob Goldberg.

    The Bassturd opens the show at 7:00 pm sharp. I will be joined by Hermes, Imy DJ friend). We have a great set planned, complete with some brand-new material.

    "Tis the season to get drunk at the 'ol Moose Lodge. I sincerely hope to see you all there.

    much luv
