How to reach me:

messr.smith, yahoo. It is the only waaaaay....

An awesome place I've visited:

The Swiss Alps overlooking Interlaken on a summer day

The movie I've watched the most times:

Koyaanisqatsi, probably. If we consider all-time, possibly Popeye (the musical with Robin Williams).

My life history in 5 sentences or fewer:

In the beginning, I was tragically diagnosed with advanced pre-natal progeria, and my condition was so severe that I attracted quite a lot of attention from numerous interest groups. In addition to the local journalists and medical reporters, I was visited by members of occult groups, archivists chronicling human aberrations, and, not infrequently, crass novelty-seekers. Out of this parade of esoteric curators emerged the production of a shockingly inaccurate portrait that, over the years, has oddly given me quite a lot of comfort. Though, at first, nobody would have mistaken my pitted countenance with the portrait's cherubic subject, the portrait and I have somehow "grown alike": while my appearance has softened, the painting has proportionally matured. The process has made me rather more palatable to polite society, and I am eager to see just how far toward Adonishood I shall be permitted to progress. . . .

My first concert / My dream concert:

First: George Thorogood and The Destroyers opening for the Steve Miller Band (I was 18 at a concert where the average age was three times that. However, due to my condition [see above], my attendance did not arouse suspicion) Dream: Keith Jarrett solo improvisation

Obscure knowledge I possess:

Centuries' worth of music theory, compositional technique, and orchestration. Also, lean startup. Also also, how many licks, within a standard deviation, it typically takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop
