i'm not sure when it happened, but i've given up on using uppercase letters. i generally capitalize proper nouns, though. i can never spell miscellaneous.

i'm not a native seattleite, but i've lived in the northwest for 31 years.

i've been known to hike on occasion.

music is fairly important to me. i love discovering new music, sharing music, etc. oh, and i'm a sucker for a good live show.

If you could have a dinner party and invite any 4 people, dead or alive, who'd be coming? Elliott Smith, Alex Garland, Kevin Shields, Jim Henson, and somehow I'd sneak in PKD.

Where are your local haunts? Neumos, Chop Suey, The Comet, Third Place Books, Easy Street Records

What's something you want to do but haven't? skydive, paraglide, attempt to summit Mt. Rainier again (I failed on the first attempt - whiteout conditions prevented ascending to the summit).

If I could change one thing about Seattle, it would be: the number of overcast days. we need more sun!

One movie everyone should see is: The Muppet Movie, Blade Runner, a Jim Jarmusch movie (preferably Stranger Than Paradise). Oh, one movie. Nevermind.

If I could only eat one type of food for the rest of my life, it would be: Pho.
