About me: I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Who I'd like to meet: People who are knowledgable in areas i am not. Dreamers. Anyone who has no problem being a prick to someone deserving. People who know no limits of sillyness. Anyone who's pawned their shit in order to make rent just to aviod an office job in a cubical. Anyone who can't catch a break but they keep plugging away. Anyone who isn't "insured". People who use logic and reason in situations. Anyone that feels their boss is a shitbag-suckpony. People, who first impressions mean nothing to.
Hey man I left you a message on your cell a couple of days ago. Just wondering if your even interested in trying to do a gig at bumpers in livonia my old neighbor bought it and was trying to come up with different things to do and he has a big enough stage. We got to talking and I told him about you and he said he would be interested in talking to you to see what it would take to pull off a gig. Dont know if you are even remotely interested but let me know either way. If you not interested just let me know. I just figured money is money.
