[For the convenience of y'all skimmming over this, I will bold and underline the important terms]
During the day I am an erstwhile attorney doing mostly appellate litigation on progressive lefty liberal social issues. I also do a variety of other consulting and research projects. My other primary focus these days is curating my art gallery, [Vorpal Space]. Please submit art for consideration to the Vorpal Space web site and not via LiveJournal.
I spend much of my other time preforming with fire, making electronic music/noise, writing inflammatory essays and opinion pieces, riding and wrenching on my constantly changing stable of motorcycle(s), lifting heavy things in the gym, sparring, tending to Artemis [my cat] and my bonsai, drinking gourmet tea, pacticing with my firestaff and firewhip,and clubbing [baby seals].
In the past, I was quite active as a performance artist. Previously, I co-produced a dark arts performance ensemble called Societas Insomnia, and I ran a fire-fetish performance art troupe called Prometheus Bound. Also, I was also a member of Firerotica, another fire-fetish troupe, Circuri Curajul, a [now defunct] touring circus, 999 Eyes ov Endless Dream [a carnival and freak show] and Batty's Hippodrome [a victorian revival circus] as well as doing regular guest appearances with yet more fire and performance art troupes. Additionally, I had a regualar slot at Dante's as part of the Sinferno Cabaret for about 5 years, and did regular guest appearances at the Someday Lounge. These days I still perform at Burning Man with Garnish in the Fire Conclave, as I have since 2002. During the period from the late 90s to a couple years ago, I performed in hundreds of shows using firewhips, bullwhips, and all manner of other props and theatrics.
As for this journal thing. . . what started in a drunken stupor one night in Seattle, has of late become a forum for my snide political commentary, weird and morbid internet finds, and stories from my life. And lots of pictures and gearhead stuff about my motorcycles.
this is me:




this is Artemis, my perfect animal companion:
