I'm the fiery-dreadlocked androgynous rock star freak
your mother warned you about. Well, actually, that's not
true. Moms love me. I'm the lead singer for San
Francisco rock band Blue Period. With my partner, the
Mysterious D, I DJ every week at The Stud (Cheap Trick)
and The Cinch (Smashed), as well as throwing our
monthly mash-up party, Bootie, the first all-bootleg club
in the United States. I also have a 'real job' -- or at least
one that pays the rent -- namely that of being the art
director for the Bay Area Reporter, a gay/lesbian
newsweekly, which involves sitting in front of a
Macintosh computer. I like making stuff look pretty,
which is why I also design CD packaging for various
local bands. And last but not least, I'm an old-school
Burning Man vet, the editor and publisher of Black Rock
City's favorite alternative newspaper, Piss Clear. Oh
yeah, and I like to take roadtrips into the desert.

Good freaks, people who do stuff and have their shit
together, or people who don't have their shit together,
but are interesting anyway.
