student

I used to be an audio visual guy, which was kind of interesting the places you could end up

I did sound for an AIDS do once and Bill CLinton was guest speaker (by then ex-pres), the people sitting at his table included Bono and Elizabeth Taylor

I had no idea what the gig was and I'd been up late taking the said drugs these here forum monitors speak of and still had a Half wrap of charly in my wallet which totally freaked me out when the dudes in Black suits came up and started talking to me about how the podium had to be out of sniper range

I ran upstairs and hid it under the toilet brush in the toilet in case they brought in the sniffer dogs

luckiliy it was still there afterwards - I guess it's not somewhere people check often - BUT MAYBE YOU SHOULD BOYS AND GIRLS!

Same here. Trying to stick with painting the millionaires houses here in Seattle, they pay better.

Starting the music business this year though. Did any of you know that you can write off all your music equipment if you start a business with it? Any hobby that has the possibility of making money is eligible. You don't really have to show a profit for up to five years.

Chef over here, though I'm still attending classes, so the bread that I can be making (no pun intended) has yet to be seen.

I used to want to be a chef. I love cooking though I rarely get into it.

I would tend bar if I wasn't such a lush.
