Jill-of-all-trades for a music-based non-profit

New Orleans, LA

Lawrence/Topeka, KS

I moved to Lawrence to attend KU upon graduating high school some fifty million years ago. I completed my first year of basic studies in Fine Arts and then high-tailed it out of here for Los Angeles when the opportunity arose. After five years, I decided I needed a change and to save some money while I (finally) finish school (which I done did last May). Lawrence has always held a warm place in my bitter little blood-organ, so I came back.

I am currently on an open-ended do-gooder excursion to the Crescent City where we mispronounce French words, make groceries, and never, ever, ever use turn signals.
The End.

Poor

Reading, writing, not so much the arithmatic.
Photography, effing around with Photoshop, drawing. Being so artsy-fartsy it hurts. Alienating others with my standoffishness which is really just a mask for my hidden insecurities...oh, and being arrogant and judgmental.

Journey To the End of The Night-Louis Ferdinand-Celine, Count of Monte Cristo-Dumas, pretty much anything Joyce, Vonnegut, David Sedaris, Neil Gaiman, Warren Ellis, Thomas Lynch...

amelie, anything chaplin (The Great Dictator is my favorite), delicatessen, donnie darko, empire records, fall, fantasia, fight club, ghostbusters, heathers, hedwig and the angry inch, kissing jessica stein, labyrinth, legend, lotr, metropolis, monty python & the holy grail, office space, quills, requiem for a dream, reservoir dogs, rocky horror picture show, secretary, the cabinet of dr. caligari, the city of lost children, the iron giant, the last unicorn, the nightmare before christmas, the secret of nimh, the usual suspects (this is an old list and I'm lazy)

I have many. pirateblu on last.fm

Six Feet Under is the best TV show ever. House, Mad Men, Dexter, Band of Brothers, Mythbusters, Simpsons (in its prime), Family Guy, pretty much anything on Adult Swim, The Office(both), Invader Zim, AbFab, Futurama, Reno 911, Insomniac, The Daily Show, The Young Ones, MST3K, The Kids In The Hall, Strangers With Candy, Mr. Show, 30 Rock, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Popular (YES THAT IS WHAT I SAID).

responsibleshopper.org, nosweatapparel.com, hulu.com, lcava.org (what what!), tipitinas.com & tipitinasfoundation.org, textsfromlastnight.com, flickr.com, goodreads.com, pictureisunrelated.com, thismakesmybrainhurtsoimgoingtostop.gov.

I love the dying magazine.
CMJ New Music Monthly, The Nation, Paste, Adbusters(not so much as of late, they're kinda poopy), The Onion, American Photo, Juxtapoz (sometimes), ARTnews, Art In America, Oxford American, Harper's.

What is that? Is that like a fanny pack?

I think the South Lawrence Trafficway needs to discuss its problems rather than bottling them up and calling me at 3 a.m. in a drunken stupor just to break down and cry.

I'm for it. And I smoke. I hate going home smelling like a casino.

Uh...it's like most towns west sides.
