I'm a big sex-ay lefty Yid. If I can't make fun of you, we will not get along. If you don't make fun of me, we will not get along. If there are taboo subjects we will not get along. Don't let the name throw you off. Really, I'm a modern kind of guy.

shit talkers, gender benders, burlesque superstars, Portuguese speakers, West End Girls, tango dancers, women who don't blush easily, and nifty folks in general. People to exercise the right side of the brain with.

Also anyone who can help get me access to other interesting places in New York City - in particular any building with a former public observation deck or terrace. And someone who'll have sex on top of the Williamsburg Bridge. Seriously. (Note: mild possibility of arrest). UPDATE: Accomplished, 5-23-2007
