HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING trying to revive hospitality. i'm now offically a pioneer, that's pretty cool COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE i just like waking up to strangers in my living room...or floor...not my bathroom floor though. i've traveled big trips twice now with couchsurfing (once with someone else and once solo), hosted for a few years, and defend it every chance i get.

okay, before, i had just a huge listing of things i like but i realized it is easier to read and search if i group them, so hear it is: MUSIC: andrew bird animal collective avalanches black dice bob dylan bright eyes built to spill butthole surfers captain beefheart chales mingus clouddead ccr dan deacon dirty projectors dirty three django reinhardt faust fiery furnances flaming lips grizzly bear guided by voices interpol jesus lizard joanna newsom king crimson lcd soundsystem miles davis modest mouse my bloody valentine neil young neutral milk hotel orb pavement pere ubu pixies residents slint sonic youth tim buckley tom waits tortoise velvet underground violent femmes white stripes woody guthrie wu-tang clan MOVIES: nashville citizen kane 2001 a space odyssey rushmore big lebowski dead man un chien andalou one flew over the cuckoos nest (i don't know movies as well as music but i love to learn) LITERATURE: shakespeare james joyce david foster wallace gertrude stein john updike leo tolstoy vladmir nabakov james schuyler michel foucault michel montaigne ernest hemingway mark twain (i like reading more than most things but i'm bored making these lists)
