CURRENT MISSION

to see millions of bands, collect millions of zines, travel to lots of places and have an excellent time

ABOUT ME

I used to run a comics & zines store with a friend in New Zealand, and I'm still obssessed with all things DIY. I read lots of books mostly by queer writers & women, and go to heaps of gigs and try and write about them on my blog, though have a habit of putting off the writing part...I like meeting people and hearing their stories, and going out and having adventures with them. I am romantic about lonely islands and lighthouses and dusty bookshops. I'm a vegetarian.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't know about this, it keeps changing depending on my mood/age/where I'm living
