About dharma69
Brooklyn, New Yorker by birth, but home is really between my ears and the sound of it is immense. The only black chick in the room with the really short hair having a good time...that'll be me. Say hello. I dare you.
My friends are spread out across the country and the world and I like that as we source one another for thoughts, temperature, experience. Music tends to be the first thing that we all have in common...all else follows naturally as it should.
Music and chocolate are love and I indulge in them both as much as possible. Concerts and Hershey/Godiva/Ghirardelli galore!

Books
From the hilarity of "Russia, Anyone?", to the reality of "The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities For Our Time", to the integrity of "Freakanomics". And then there's the romance novel or two. Or 48.

Besides logs listing the shows I've attended, I have logs for who I went to shows with as well as how much each show cost.
It's so great to look them over to reminisce or refer back to. If I'm unsure about having seen an artist or how many times, I just look it up.
I still hand write all the info. I've thought about creating spreadsheets on my pc, but it would take me days and days and days to input all that info. So, for now I'll stick with my pad and pencil.
What's your next gig? I'm going to see Au Revoir Simone this Saturday. Should be fun.
Take care!
You sure do attend plenty of gigs! You may have me beat. Do you keep track of how many? I've attended 33 so far this year - 633 to date. It's the best possible hobby!
Have a good one!
Well, thank you for passing by and for accepting me as a friend!
Hopefully we'll chat soon!
Oh and is your name from the book The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac? It just so happens to be one of my favorites.
Take Care

(i just pondered for a moment, how much fun itīd be to go to gigs and hang out with you)
