Going to concerts (it's a bad addiction.

I wanna meet Steely Dan and David Bowie and the cast of Golden Girls and Amy Sedaris and everyone on Strangers with Candy. And Dave Atell, I want to go bar hopping with him on "Insomniac." And I would love to tour with ELO. If you know these people I want to meet you, too. :)

I really dig people who are passionate about their music, especially if it's music that I'm really into (Danfans, I'm talking to you!)
