What is something that people are surprised to find out about you? I'm not vegetarian. I do tend to get along with them pretty well, but that's more something that *I'm* surprised by.

Where are your local haunts? The Crocodile, Neumos, Chop Suey, Sonic Boom, Hazlewood, Belltown Pizza, Dick's, Smokin' Pete's, etc. I like Food, Music, and/or properly used apostrophes. Also good: staying in.

How far will you travel to meet the right partner? All the way to the internet. Ideally, though, you would be within Seattle city limits.

My radio dial is usually tuned to: KEXP and KUOW.

If I could change one thing about Seattle, it would be: Make it so it doesn't take half an hour to get nearly everywhere.

I consider myself an open-minded person, but my deal breakers are vegans and regular smokers. ...Of anything. [meats and fish are acceptable, though if you smoke those every day, I may want some explanation]

I want to make a t-shirt that says "Shirt" next to a box with a green check mark. This, along with the matching shoes would ensure entry into all but the most exclusive establishments.

My picture(s) reveal that I am also a fan of *visual* puns.

My idea of a great date is a good show, but not so good a show that you can't tell if you liked me, or just the music.

When stuck in gridlock I listen to NPR; perfect for those "Driveway Moments"

The quickest way to my heart is wit, absence of malice. The quickest way to my bed is through my heart; should I be investigating a quicker route? And in the morning, I like my eggs cooked scrambled, and please add salt before cooking. Chipotle Tabasco optional.

The last show I saw was John Roderick at the Triple Door

A fault my friends tease me about is I have a few more pairs of Converse than most.

It's Sunday morning at 10 a.m. If I'm not still sleeping, I'm listening to Preachin' the Blues, and getting annoyed at Johnny Horn's cadence.

Something people keep buying me for gifts and I never use is action figures. Seriously, I think I'm doing a good enough job scaring away girls on my own, guys.

One sport I will never get is cricket. ...I might have even read part of the enormous wikipedia article on it.

When I was a kid, I actually owned a a ColecoVision, with the game "Cabbage Patch Kids: Adventures in the Park."
