CURRENT MISSION

To band together with musicians and artists, and the people who support them, and together to create cultural relics that will survive their creators eternally in the halls of cherished history.

ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Andrew. I'm a musician and an entrepreneur, if entrepreneur is the right name for someone who doesn't make much money but tries a lot of weird ideas.

I will be going on tour with a band called Weatherbox in July, and I want to use this opportunity to meet a bunch of cool people and sleep on their couches. I'm always up for a conversation, although I'm sometimes kinda awkward. I'll probably mostly be hopping from city to city, and won't have a lot of time to hang out, but I'll gladly participate in any activities or rituals that happen to coincide with my stay.

PHILOSOPHY

Each person is but a mind in a sometimes ailing and often inadequate fleshy shell. So it is each person's duty as an intelligent, conscious being to take their mind and project it into the world with as much vigor as they can muster. They can do this through their words, their work, their values, their art, and their children, or really anything else. Just create. It's the answer to how you take the unique being that is you, and stamp your mark on forever.
