About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Killer road trip from Columbia, SC to Austin, TX in late spring '09.

ABOUT ME

I just found out about this site and it's perfect timing. My best friend in the whole world, Adam, is moving to Austin TX late next spring. I decided to go with him and hang out for awhile, but along the way we want to have a really big time.

We both love .ART.travel.drink.read.write.art.insanity.music.absurdity.ART.

PHILOSOPHY

get enough beers up in me and we can get in to some real philosophical shit....other than that - your life is art. make it something worth having.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of our couch surfing has be from touring in bands which is always fun. We really love to meet interesting people in towns we've never been too. One time we played this show in Bowling Green KY and from the stage we mentioned that we needed a place to stay. After the show a lady that was about 50 and had waist long gray hair said really slow and soft "well, I don't have a lot of room, but I do have an extra *hut* that you're welcome to stay in, and I must say, it's *not dangerous* but things in this particular hut do *levitate*. Are you kidding! I was sooooo excited....but sadly there was one kid that was with us that just refused to go so we had to say no. I don't believe in regret, but damn.
