Capricorn

I'm a playwright and performance artist. I believe I have a pretty good sense of humor--but wait! Don't take my word for it. The New York Times (and we know how reliable they are) called me a "dryly funny downtown comedian." I take an active interest in most forms of art and cultural activities. I enjoy a good conversation, perhaps over dinner and a glass of wine in a relaxed East Village place, and consider myself a good listener. (I eat slowly and therefore prefer if someone else talks while I eat.) I try to keep up with current events and politics, not to mention sports and the weather. I feel I am a completely unique person, although you must decide if that is a good thing. Finally, I feel younger than my actual age. You can learn more about my work at http://www.tomxchao.com

Life is short--so please kill me with love.
