Uilleann piper in Edinburgh. Living a parody of www.phdcomics.com.
Currently looking for good sessions, good coffee, good beer, and excuses to travel to the Scottish Highlands and random European cities.
I'm also interested in single malt whiskys, real ales, ontology, and Your Mom.
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the night sky..."
~ Jack Kerouac, On the Road, 1957
