“I was a weird kid. I loved vintage clothes. I assumed that if I wore a 1950’s yellow sundress and matching jacket on the first day of school, everyone in sixth grade would love me. When I got to high school, I realized that all the other weird kids were in theater, so I started spending all my free time in the theater department. I was the costume designer. And by costume designer, I mean the person who organized the boxes of free shit people gave us.”

“I play the drums on the subway for about three hours per day. It’s like the matrix down here. A lot of bad energy. Everyone is rushing and tense and people don’t like to look at each other. So I’m trying to spread some positivity and keep people out of the zombie zone. Yesterday I was singing some Bob Marley and a man screamed at me to stop playing. I think he was bothered by my light. He got too close to the sun.“
