I am interested in writing with Wikipedia because it's a good source to find information on just about anything. And since I have been writing technically and creatively now for over 25 years, I thought it would be high time to throw in a few minor details that can make the already well written article stand out. When writing for a big of publication such as Wikipedia, you have to be very vigilant about the information you are putting down for the open public to read. The public basically wants accuracy with the hard facts the certain stories are holding within, and not just accurate, but truth will go a lot further rather than mistaken reporting.

I am mainly interested in the arts of music, in the indie sense of the word, and all aspects of movies for the most part. Favorite directors off hand are: Brian DePalma, Milos Forman, Mike Nichols, and David Lynch. Music: Lucinda Williams, The Waterboys, Spiritualized, Mojave 3, Arcade Fire, The Walkabouts, Thievery Corporation etc...and so on...

I have written for a couple of publications in the past. Puncture, based out of Portland, Oregon, an indie music magazine, which comes out bi-monthly. I have also written for the Seattle arts and entertainment weekly newspaper, or "rag", as we liked to call it, The Stranger. I wrote music reviews, and a recurring article that was regularly featured each week, focusing on the "best bets", so to speak. The events, shows, and other points of interest that were happening around town that week. Of course they were subjectively channeled through me, and written down for whoever's eyes caught it.
