Who I Want to Meet:
Lovers of art, music, travel, languages, great food and mischief. Well intentioned and creative eccentrics who are kind to strangers, even when there's nothing to be gained by being so. Tattoo artists, carnival freaks and charming ne'er-do-wells.
Unconventional drummers & percussionists. Reed players of all description. Masters of the accordion. An upright bass player who likes Mingus and Tom Waits.
A certain callipygian tomboy replicant, over and over again.
