Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Blues Brothers. 'Nuff said.

Music: EVERYTHING. Penchant for bluegrass, folk, jazz, blues and the weird genre that is indie/hipster/whatever.

Books: Too many to list, so three will do: The Brothers Karamazov, Hyperion, and the Foundation Trilogy (I'm counting it as a book. Shh. Its fine).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew to SXSW with no plans and no place to stay, searching for grand adventure. Which I'm experiencing right now. Best thing I've done in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to share my knowledge about:
• Instruments: Mandolin, guitar, bass, harmonica, some piano.
• Art: digital, traditional (charcoal), art history, theory, reviews, anatomical analysis, etc.
• Tech: Software repair, hardware repair, web design & development, software training for Adobe Creative Suite CS3 through CS5
