Extra in the series Family Circle, got some unexpected cash for the random talking :)

After 5th grade I was asked every year to recite something at a school event and i played sick, dumb, and incapable to memorize just to get away.

For years I fucked over my teachers to reduce the drama about how to use cassette players and setup tv-sets to show movies and documentaries in the classrooms. They just started talking how many types and brands of electronics we have at home and I had to repeat a year as a result. (I got a lot of honesty few years later why and how... :)

I was the kid who knows computers and electronics in our old post soviet 12-storey house.

In high-school for two years I was the guy who could get the latest music whatever the fuck that would be.
(thanks to the dial-up modem and mp3)—
Got hit twice in my life for burping the first two lines of a poem in front of a lot of people. 99% found it funny :\

I had a poo in the cubicle next to the one Jarvis Cocker went in. Didn’t really need one but thought it’d be my best chance of a claim to fame story.

Smoking weed with rock stars #2
--------------------------------...I was in a band in the mid nineties and we supported Agnostic Front at a show in Birmingham. It was attended mostly by uber-judgemental straight edge hard-core kids from the West Midlands being all puritanical about drink and drugs.
It was a fucking riot of a show and after it was over we hung out with Vinnie Stigma and Roger Miret and smoked olympic quantities of some really nice resin. They both regaled epic stories of NYHC in the early days, mostly featuring Harley Flanagan.
Post Script: I asked them about the straight edge no drink, no drugs attitude lots of the fans had and Roger replied "Fuck all of them. We get wasted".

I have two.
Claim to Fame 1:
When I was living in Halifax (Canada, not England) at the beginning of my career in the early '00s, I freelanced for then-Ellen Page's dad, Dennis, who owned an ad and design agency in the city. I met teenaged then-Ellen once as a consequence.Claim to Fame 2:
Some months later (still in Halifax. Canada, not England), I went to a KMFDM concert with a couple of friends, and ended up smoking weed with Sascha Konietzko on the pavement in front of the venue. He then — after all of us were good and baked — gave me the rest of his stash, because the band were going to the US next (that night, in fact), and he didn't want to get in shit at the border.Of the two, I remember the weed smoking with Sascha much more fondly. And I'm not even much of a weed-smoker.
- Oh yes, and I also interviewed him and his now-wife Lucia Cifarelli for an online metal 'zine earlier that evening.Continuity
