By the lovely Margaux Lange. Of course

1. Since I was 16 I have been playing the harmonica, which I started out listening to John Popper of Blues Traveller (playing it really loud in my room made it ’sound better’) but still play to this day, and have gigged in NYC every now and then with friends.

2. I did become an official Lego Maniac back in the 80s, You had to sign up and got a newsletter, pretty darn sahweet! Still a Lego Maniac.

3. I’m a pretty avid dancer, and though I love dancing to lots of techno and industrial these days, it all pretty much started when I was 10 years old at an uncle’s wedding. I wouldn’t stop! I also loved to dance and sing to NIN back in HS in my room, it let off quite a bit of steam. I hated HS.

4. As a kid I had a tendency to break things when I was mad. Usually joysticks. The last thing I remember destroying was my stereo in college, just kinda dropped it off my desk (like a cat batting things of to test gravity). My friend Josh was there, we were roommates, and were playing Unreal Tournament with others in our Apartment. I blame it on loud KMFDM (or Rammstein, one of those). It still worked, for a little more time. Don’t worry, I’ve seeked help on that since.

5. Since M talked about meeting someone famous, I met Jimmy Fallon when I worked the US Open. It was pretty cool, since we actually were formulating what commentators said during commercial breaks (at the game they stil showed them waiting). I always wondered if he would have Tina Fey or someone write a skit like that. Guess not. Oh well.

6. I did 5 years of college, first year was at Hartford for Computer Engineering, then I went upstate to ACC for ‘Art’, and transferred back to Hartford (Art School) for Design. I was a bit of the odd-ball out, being a Freshman/Sophomore my first semester back, but really a Junior. Needless to say, I didn’t have it in with the art kids. Cool guy smokin hipsters.

Hmmm, who should I tag? I don’t know any cool bloggers.
