- About Me:
- Some people think my favorite deadly sin is Vanity, but anyone who's seen me eat knows it's Gluttony. I have a website, but it hasn't been updated in almost two years, so no, you can't have the address. Motors are so overrated. I have a favorite time signature, and it is 6/8. When composing an e-mail, I make a concerted effort not to start consecutive paragraphs with the same letter. I drink herbal tea, even though I know it's not technically tea and don't buy into its homeopathic properties. Everyone asks about my nickname, and I wish I could come up with a more exciting story behind it. I don't have a favorite color, I have palettes. Life is more enjoyable when you think of it as a big dress-up party. I wear my spandex bike gear at every opportunity. I kick off my shoes whenever I can, but I wear socks almost constantly. My archnemesis is the wind, and I have the medical records and scars to prove it. My lifelong goal is to put off growing up for as long as possible.
- Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:
- It's small enough that one person can make a difference, and big enough that one person can make a difference
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- What I'm Reading:
- God vs. the Gavel, Bicycling Magazine's Complete Book of Road Cycling Skills, grad school garbage...
- What I'm Listening To:
- Right now: The Blood Arm - Suspicious Character
Some of my faves: Pink Floyd, NoFX, Rancid, Flogging Molly, Catch 22, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, A Perfect Circle, Cake, Queen, Eve6, Everclear, Bush, Fabrizio de Andre, and local ABQ ska bands Made in Bangladesh, and Danny Winn and the Earthlings

The Most Peculiar Dream I Think I've Ever Had
It's 3am, and I just had one of the strangest dreams of my life. I need to take this down before I forget it.
I was in the home of DCF's own Jason and Spring, which in this dream had a garage that opened directly onto the kitchen instead of the driveway. In this garage was a grand piano, on which the two bloggers kept a framed picture of me of which they spoke endlessly ("Oh, we had dinner by the piano last night, right next to your pictur… Continue

From Lewd Pictures to Loud Preachers
This is the former site of "Jack Newsom Photography," a sketchy little place that I'd never seen open in the two years I've lived here. There was always the same crummy blue jeep parked out front, though, with a cord of some sort running from the jeep to the roof of the building.
But the jalopy wasn't what always caught my eye. It was the sign, handpainted right on the stucco, in cl… Continue

I met you downtown with those two hot girls who were couchsurfing. Where did they disappear to?
It's the first time we're doing it, and it should be a blast! It's at Lotus on July 25, and basically anyone who wants to be nominated can go to Lotus that night, get their photo taken by our photographer (we're going to have the lights set up and all that jazz), and we'll get all their info down.
This is always one of our best selling issues - I can't tell you how often people ask me when we're doing our next one. Anyway, let me know if there's anyway I can promote it to the singles on Duke City Fix (I do have an image I can post somewhere with all the info if that's a possibility). The only way we can make this issue great is by having awesome people fill the pages!

I will totally take you up on that offer for a hi-res version of the artichoke. Thanks!
Saw ya walking & conversing your way past Gold Street last night... at least, I think it was you. :-)
I'll be a bit out of touch the next few weeks, going to go work with Mena Suvari (oh la la). I'll pop in a bit and mess things up here and there. Thanks!
Let's work out a happy hour sometime soon though.. I'll post a little group notice.
And you have fun and of course stay single.
