About Me:

JP. I live in the Mid-West. When indoors I like playing video games, watching TV and movie DVDs, reading books and comics, creating art, and listening to-writing-playing-and everything music. Outdoors I like parks, riding my 63' Vespa, being warm, the smell of Autumn, and amusement parks. I enjoy making people laugh by being goofy and witty and sometimes tickley; conversations about our existence, the universe, feelings, and dreams. I believe there are more important things than overtime, wall paint shades, shiny appliances, pointless Degrees, and trivial arguments. I'm a fairly liberal but wholehearted follower of Jesus. I would like to find a lady who is beautiful inside and out and who takes me as I am.

Hey yo,
I’m riding cross country on a 1963 Vespa playing songs and promoting my band’s double album:
http://allthegoodstrangers.bandcamp.com

I’ll try to come see you if you let me know where you are!

Anyways, This is my attempt at being a somewhat professional musician for 4 months of this year. I’m getting food and shelter mostly from friends and family and hopefully from people i meet via couchsurfing.org and etc. But $ in exchange for cds, live songs, shirts, and fabric art pieces is my source for gas money. As well as getting my rent paid.

We made 200 hand numbered, hand crafted physical copies of the double album and I really only need to sell these 200 to make it work fluid. Which isn’t a whole lot considering the millions of people in the USA.

If you’d like to help a guy out with a “dream” (playing music for cost of living) check out the link. I honestly can say I’d do the same for anyone else. It’s not only helping me out but you get awesome independent music as well! Or any direction on places to book a quick set or to street perform is also great.

I got the yet unnamed Vespa started and put 8 break-in miles in on my first ride going up and down my block and circling around in the parking lot at the end.
Only at least 192 miles to break in left. I kept it at 20kph most of the time (15mph).
Supposed to keep it under 30-35mph for about 200 or more miles.

It was magical and I did not want to stop.
I cannot wait to get to both oceans on it. Or at least attempt to.
If I come anywhere near anyone on my road trip I will give you a ride.
Gas money for getting coast to coast appreciated ;)
