自我介绍

Hello there! Chicago-born, but have called New Zealand my home ever since falling in love with it at the tendershoot age of 20 and staying to write a novel about all of the friends I discovered here, drinking their lives away. These days most of my writing energy is poured into a PhD I am doing through the University of Otago in Dunedin on South Island rock music culture. Sometimes I play in my own band, too. That means I'm often travelling between Christchurch and Dunedin, among other places. If we cross paths, I'd be happy yarn about music and culture if that tickles your fancy, too. I've loved Christchurch ever since being headhunted in 2011 after the earthquakes. I can point you in the direction of a lot of nice venues, bars, and other things worth seeing and doing as the city rises from the ash.
