My main thing in life is music.

I don't have time to search out new people right now. But I always write back. I like to write. I don't like sifting through profiles.

Part of the reason I love music is because it has allowed me to see the world and meet a lot of interesting people. I've been to almost every state, and toured Europe.

My friends and my family are the only thing that I prioritize above music. I'm lucky enough to have a whole lotta friends... but I am close with only a few.

I love games. Board games, card games, video games, sports, etc... I'm a competitive person (but not a jerk... I'm good at losing too).

Outside is where it's at. Whether it's camping, gardening, climbing trees, sports, or taking a midnight walk through the forest preserve... if I am outside I am generally happy. I run 3 miles outside a few times a week.

A few of many favorite bands/musicians:
-Elliott Smith
-Deftones
-Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
-John Denver
-Mars Volta
-The Shins
-Modest Mouse
-Radiohead
-Ratatat
-Elle Fitzgerald
-Chopin

I don't watch much TV. When I do, it is most likely one of these shows:
-Colbert
-Always Sunny
-Survivorman (or something nature/science related)
-Simpsons
-Futurama
-Cubs

Books:
-The Alchemist
-Cat's Cradle
-Sphere
-Actual Air
-One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Ongoing priorities:
-to continue to perform, write, and record music
-to experience a wide variety of grand adventures
-friendship/love

I'm easy to please. Generally, the most important thing to me when hanging out with new people is that they are comfortable and having fun. I'm good at finding creative things to do... but I also like to keep it simple.
To me a cool first date could be:
-Coffee
-Lunch
-A drink
-Going to see a good band
-A walk (downtown, or at a forest preserve, or a place like Cantigny or the Arboretum)
-A bonfire and bbq with friends (I have a big yard)
