About me: i barely look at myspace anymore. i keep it because i don't want to lose the comments left by my friend laini before she passed away.

in october of 2003, i moved from alexandria, va; a dc suburb to the ukrainian village. i love chicago and find more reasons to love it every day. music is my everything. i am an alphabetizer and a cataloger. i have a few tattoos. i love my boo, zachary and our two hedgehog children hoggle and hermione. i enjoy making food and i love going out to restaurants. i like to write about food, so i am addicted to yelp.com. i try to support independent business over corporate business as often as i can.
joe letke made this video flipping through some doodles of mine:
i have a wee craft company called rhymes with twee. you can find my stuff on etsy:
i deny friendship requests from friend collectors. you can believe it or not, but i actually know 95% of the people on my friend's list in real life, or they are people i have known heaps of years online. however, if you are in love with living, then i'd probably like to know you. my aim name is madflowr.
i keep a list of shows i have been to and shows i plan on going to here. i set up an event back in arlington, va (and someday in chicago) called make-out party.
two songs that i wrote and sang with gavin conner under the name my_old_sunsets in 2004 are here. i decided i needed a new moniker for making music and i decided on the secret scene (nothing up there yet), because one of my favorite things is being surprised with a secret scene after a film's credits. the plan was to release a split with gavin conner in 2006 on diver city records, but i have been making crafts not music lately.
This Monday No Coast Studios will be a part of Danny's monthly Peace Party series. We will be presenting 12 months of Peace Party posters printed and designed here at No Coast by Alex Valentine. Proceeds from the bar will benefit public programming and other activities here at the space. Please come dance and listen to amazing music from DJ's Jeff Parker, Jocelyn Brown, Naomi Walker, and Josh Abrams.
