Hey everyone. I'm gr3ndel, I book music acts in the Portland, OR area, I'm a privacy advocate and civil libertarian, a technophile, and an eccentric, amongst other things.
I hate longs walks, regardless of whether they're on a beach or not.
I believe that individual privacy should be secure, and that information should be free. I also believe this bio should refrain from being a manifesto (as versions 1-23 turned out to be).
I've known James for quite a while now, and he's definitely a good source of knowledge, and also a cool guy.
My interests are many but my time is little. Just a few of the things I'm fascinated with include freedom, privacy, writing, reading, researching random subjects, acting, genealogy, history, architecture, photography, art, film, theater, music, performance art, technology, science, movies, magic, circus and carnival arts, gambling, mythology, religions, and ROBOTS!
And I believe that IRC should never die!
