Ideal Frankenstein: Fanfarlo + Mozart + Simon & Garfunkel

Memorable shows: Piano concerto No.3 @ Roy Thompson; Fanfarlo @ Galaxy room 2010; Snarky Puppy @ Cedar Street 2017; The Comet Is Coming @ BME 2019

First album I bought: Real McCoy – Another Night.

Gary writes for panicmanual to keep both Gary and Chicago sane. Even now, Gary huddles a stone’s throw from yet another Great Lake in the self-similar fractal landmark commonly known as “the bench”, wondering if Gary will ever be able to put ketchup on hot dogs again except out of spite. Without this outlet sphincter for Gary’s verbal and mental diarrhea, Gary’s imaginary bowel will likely back-fill to Gary’s tongue. The unthinkable unleashing of all of Gary’s innards into a non-Newtonian viscous puddle which consists mainly of movies, photographs, and folky music, onto that wind-swept curb-side pool where the neighbors’ cars have been properly entombed in vomit-tainted ice until the next thaw which cannot come soon enough, is just such a long sentence that causes everyone to wonder how many high schools and universities had the misfortune of being so misrepresented. Inconveniently for all, this number is increasing. Gary has been institutionalize more times then Gary cares to count on Gary’s 3 fingers, which is remarkably in tune with always being in third-person and obsessed with gary-self.

The perspectives and opinions expressed on this website/blog are Gary’s alone and do not reflect the perspectives and opinions of Gary’s employer(s) – if they have any.
