The movie I've watched the most times:

During high school I babysat for a kid who was obsessed Dumbo for the better part of a year, so I wouldn't be surpised if I watched it several dozen times. Actually, it's really trippy movie...a baby elephant with giant ears accidently drinks from a water bucket spiked with champaign, hallucinates pink elephants and wakes up in tree?

My life history in 5 sentences or fewer:

When I was three, I'd climb onto the space ship (willow tree) in my front yard, blast off and land on the moon (the dog house). I dreamt often, read voraciously, studied when I had to, traveled when I could and eventually orchestrated a proper escape from the bubble of Skaneateles, NY to Washington, DC where I attended the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. I fell in love with New York City after stopping over to see Radiohead at Liberty State Park in 2001 on my way back from Paris; foll

My first concert / My dream concert:

Hmm....the very very first? The Beach Boys when I was 10 at the New York State Fair. Barring time travel, I'd say any show that costs $15 or less where some band I've never heard before makes me walk out saying "wow" so that 20 years from now I won't be sitting around saying, "I wish I had seen ________ back when..."

What I would bring to show and tell:

homemade rum raisin ice cream and some spoons.

I secretly want to be:

a fly on the wall

An infatuation of mine:

the Panasonic Lumix GX1...but so far I've just been admiring it from afar.
