About me:
I play the drums. Sometimes I also play other instruments. You might have seen me with live improv dance duo, 1050. Or perhaps my Scottish avant-jaz trio The Action Group. There are more bands that I perform with in the present and past. You may have heard some of them. Especially if you're in any of these places: Princeton, Philly, DC, Jakarta, Portland, Glasgow, and Brooklyn. Since that's where I've been.
I'm considering growing my hair back out again.
I pimped my profile using Apple Text Edit, bitches.
Here's what you can learn about me from Blogthings:
