About Me

This is a picture of me playing "Eterna Soledad" on a borrowed guitar while crouching on mud on a rainy day outside a taco truck in northern San Diego county. I was born in San Diego. My favorite food in the world is frijoles. Felipe Staiti is my idol. I dream of being a rock star in my next life. In this life I am a writer. I love tropical fruit and dry, hot weather. Large bodies of water make me happy. I own two acoustic guitars and a violin. One day I will buy a house and paint the exterior purple and blue. In the meantime, I'm saving up for the next show.

Interests

• Street parties. Street protests. An end to U.S. imperialism. My nephews and nieces and other assorted children. Surviving the mosh pit.

Favorite Movies

• Farewell My Concubine
• La Ley MTV Unplugged
• Y tu mamá también...probably a bunch more but I haven't seen a movie in a while.

Favorite Music

• Rock
• cumbia
• huastecas
• sones jarochos y jalicenses
• ...anything with sesquiáltera and pretty much anything that has both a clave beat and an electric guitar. I am a die hard Enanitos Verdes fan and can't seem to get enough of Los Heroes del Silencio and certain Enrique Bunbury songs either. Also
• I could happily listen to Quetzal Flores jam out on the jarana until I die.

Favorite Books

• Leslie Marmon Silko

• and Sherman Alexie are writers that move me.
